The City of Greenfield is notifying residents that inspectors from the Assessor’s Office will be visiting properties to collect data for property tax assessments.
The Massachusetts Department of Revenue requires that the City inspect each property every ten years. The inspection should be a full measure of the exterior and an attempt at gaining entry for interior information. The
data collected will be used to calculate assessed values. Accurate data is critical to ensuring that property taxes are fair and equitable.
Two individuals will be performing inspections on behalf of the City:
Mr. Alexander (Alex) Sendzik (pictured above) is a contractor working for the City. He will be driving a dark blue 2025 Toyota RAV4, and he is registered with the Greenfield Police Department. Mr. Sendzik carries a letter from the Assessor’s Office explaining his employment with the City, and will produce this letter when asked.
Mr. Evan Gregg (pictured above) is a newly hired City employee. He will be wearing a City identification badge and will be driving a City vehicle with an Assessor’s Office logo on it.
The City asks that residents provide these inspectors with access to their property. They will review parcel data by checking the exterior measurements and interior elements such as room count, bathroom count, and interior condition, as well as update the exterior photograph of your property. Keep in mind that if your property is not inspected, an
estimate will be made resulting in a less reliable assessment. If residents are not at home at the time of the inspector’s visit, inspectors will leave a card with information about how to schedule an interior inspection.
Inspectors will be visiting properties on an ongoing basis.
The City will provide updates as inspector staffing changes. Any questions can be directed to the Assessor’s Office at (413) 772-1509.
