Massachusetts Department of Revenue Mandate

The Massachusetts Department of Revenue (DOR) mandates that every municipality fully updates its property assessments each fiscal year to reflect the current fair market value. The updated property assessments are submitted to the DOR each fiscal year for its review and approval before Weston’s tax rate can be set by the Select Board. Every five years, the DOR audits the Board of Assessors' records and procedures for certification. The DOR’s last certification of the Board of Assessors' records and procedures was done in fiscal year 2019.

All applications for deferrals, personal exemptions, community preservation exemptions, and abatement requests for real property, personal property, and motor vehicle excise taxes can be obtained from and must be filed with the Assessors’ Office.
