Property taxes
As voted at the 2026 Town Meeting, tax payments are now due September 10, December 10 and May 10. For FY 2026/2027, bills were mailed August 7, 2026. The first payment was due September 10, 2026, the second is due December 10, 2026 and the final payment is due May 10, 2027.
Your bill shows any State payments (prebate) that have been made. For questions about your prebate payment, contact the Tax Department at 866-828-2865 (toll-free).
Direct Debit. The Direct-Debit Tax Payment Program automatically withdraws your property taxes from your checking or savings account on the due dates. The program is governed by state and federal regulations, and you can stop participating at any time with appropriate notification.
