TOWN OF SHARON
ASSESSORS MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 17, 2011
1:OOP.M. Called meeting to order. Present: Paula B. Keefe, Ellen W.
Abelson, Richard B. Gorden and Mark J. Mazur.
1. The Board discussed the possible assessment of two exempt entities as
partially taxable because they lease part of their property. The Board decided
to assess one of the properties, Parcel 123-16 as partially taxable for FY 2012,
because they clearly lease that property to a for profit entity. The Board
decided to evaluate the other property, Parcel 112-7, further before making
a final decision on whether it should be partially taxable.
2. The Board approved corrections to the land area of parcels owned by an
organization taxed under M.G.L. Chapter 61B. The total land area of the five
parcels owned by the organization increased only slightly as a result of the
corrections by approximately 1%. The matter was initiated by a representative
of the organization. The corrected land areas were determined by the Town
Engineering Department.
3. The Board granted a Fiscal Year 2012 Preliminary Tax Adjustment to the
owner of Parcel 7-56.
4. The Board reviewed documents related to the removal of a house lot from a
parcel currently assessed under Chapter 61A. It was determined that because it
will be used for the granddaughter of the owner to build a house, that no
roll-back tax is due. The Board therefore signed a partial lien release and a
certificate as to the amount of conveyance and roll-back tax for the property
in question.
5. The Board reviewed and then approved of changes to the valuing of our
income producing real estate for Fiscal Year 2012.
6. The Board reviewed and approved a list of changes for Fiscal Year 2012.
Most were neighborhood changes to certain streets.
7. The Board reviewed an old to new list that identified properties that had
increased by 10% or more from Fiscal Year 2011 to Fiscal Year 2012.
8. The Board will hold their next Board meeting at 12:30P.M. on Monday,
November 7, 2011.
