Following state statutes and Department of Revenue (DOR) regulations, the Board of Assessors is completing the FY2025 revaluation of all real and personal property in Dighton, MA. Revaluation is a year-long process when the DOR examines in detail all assessing methodologies used by the town, as well as the values derived through mass appraisal system.
These valuations have been preliminarily approved and are pending final certification approval by the Massachusetts Department of Revenue. The values are subject to change within this disclosure period. The public review will run from Monday, November 4, 2024 to Tuesday, November 12, 2024.
The revaluation process includes a public disclosure requirement to let property owners know what their proposed new values are. Listings of proposed new values will be available for viewing in the Assessor’s office, Dighton Town Hall, 979 Somerset Ave., Dighton MA. Our office hours are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 7:30 am – 4:30 pm, Wednesday 7:30 am – 5:30 pm and closed on Friday.
Using the mass appraisal method, the goal is to arrive at values that are at 100% of market value. Valuations are based on sales, using the last full calendar year before the beginning of the applicable fiscal year. Calendar 2023 sales were used in the Fiscal 2025 value analysis.
Please contact the Assessor’s office during the public disclosure period if you would like a copy of your property card or if you have any questions.
