Important Tax Payment Tips:
If taxes are paid from a bank escrow account, send both copies of your bill to your bank when you receive them from Town Hall. The first tax bill is mailed around October 1st. The second tax bill is mailed around April 1st.

Do not enclose cash.

Sign and date your check. Unsigned checks will be returned. DO NOT DATE THE CHECK AHEAD. Checks will not be held by the Collector for later deposit. A post-dated check that is processed and not honored by the bank will result in penalties and fees and charges imposed by both the bank and the Town.

To request a receipt, you must include both copies of your bill and a stamped self-addressed envelope with your payment. If you are a new homeowner, please understand that Massachusetts's law requires that the tax bill be sent to the record owner as of the previous January 1st. You should retrieve a copy of your tax bill at Town Hall to avoid late payment penalties. Massachusetts's law states that your failure to receive a tax bill does not invalidate the tax or the proceedings for collection.
