DATA RE-INSPECTION PROJECT

The State requires that every community re-inspect their real estate data periodically.  In response, the Sharon Board of Assessors is having all real estate in Sharon inspected over a period of eight years.  In addition to meeting state requirements, the objective of this project is to assure the accuracy of the Town’s assessing data.

Mayflower Valuation Ltd. of Plymouth, a prominent firm in this field, has been hired to work on this project.  Inspections are beginning in March of 2011 and will conclude in 2018. 

A representative of Mayflower Valuation Ltd. goes to houses in a given neighborhood and inspects both the interior and exterior of each house.  He has an I.D. card with his photograph on it and does not inspect the interior of a house unless a person 18 years or older is present.  If no one is available to let him inspect the interior of a house, he leaves a notice on the doorknob requesting that the resident call the Assessors Office to set up an appointment to inspect the interior.

The Board of Assessors urges the public to be cooperative with this individual and understand that by assuring the accuracy of our assessing information we will be ensuring that every homeowner pays only his or her fair share in taxes.
