Mission Statement
The role of the Assessors Office, under the direction of the Board of Assessors, is to list and value all Real and Personal Property throughout the town of Harvard. The Department of Revenue requires that all property is valued at full and fair cash value which ensures that all property owners pay their fair and equitable share of the yearly tax burden. The Assessors are obligated to revalue all properties yearly and, once every three years, undergo a state recertification audit.
The Assessors Office also administers the following programs:
Real Estate and Personal Property Abatements
Personal Property Forms of List
Real Estate Exemptions
Chapter Land
3ABC Exemptions
Income & Expense Forms
Motor Vehicle Abatements
Abutters Lists
Name/Address Changes
Map updates
The Assessors Office is available to answer your questions and concerns during regular business hours. You may also contact us by email at cjornet@harvard.ma.us. We are happy to provide assistance in filling out abatement applications, chapter applications and exemption applications. Our goal is to provide courteous and efficient service.
