Real Estate Tax Frequently Asked Questions

1) I purchased a new property in Tyngsborough but the old owner’s name still appears on my bill. Why?

A: Massachusetts General Law Chapter 59 Section 11 states “taxes on real estate shall be assessed, in the town where it lies, to the person who is the owner on January 1” As such, the assessed owner as of January 1 will still appear on the bill as well as the name of the current owner for the remainder of the fiscal year (July 1- June 30). Unfortunately, the Post Office may see the previous owner name and forward mail. If this is the case, simply notify our office & we will re-issue bill.

If you received a bill for property you no longer own, please notify our office so we can re-issue a new bill to the current owner. Refer to the paragraph above for explanation.

2) I never received a bill. What should I do?

A: Residents can reach out directly to our office to receive a new copy of their bill. Remember, Under state law, failure to receive a bill does NOT affect the validity of the tax or any interest or fines incurred due to late payments.

It is the responsibility of the taxpayer to secure his/her tax bill when one is not received. You can request a Duplicate Tax Bill by contacting our office directly.

3) My mortgage company pays my taxes, why did I receive a bill in the mail?

A: Massachusetts Law requires that we send a copy of the Real Estate Tax Bill to each resident, regardless of who pays the mortgage. Mortgage companies and banks use third party tax services to acquire information about your bill. Residents can confirm their bills were payed by contacting our office directly.
