The Assessing Division establishes market based assessments for the 47,444 real estate parcels and the approximately 5,000 personal property estates in the City of Worcester. Real estate valuations for FY 2011 are currently available and include parcel tax tile maps. Additionally, assessment property data information is accessible by using our Property Values Search.
The FY 2011 residential tax rate is $16.06 per $1000 assessed valuation and the commercial, industrial and personal property tax rate is $34.65 per $1000 assessed valuation.
The City Council adopted these FY 2011 tax rates on December 21, 2010. The City's tax rates were then certified by the Massachusetts Department of Revenue for FY 2011 on December 23, 2010.
Our mission is to serve the public interest and help assure the financial stability of the City of Worcester by exhibiting the highest level of competence and professionalism. To this end, the Assessing staff pledges its efforts toward the accomplishment of four critical objectives: timely tax billing; the attainment of tax equity whereby each taxpayer pays only their fair share of the tax burden; the maximization of tax base growth revenue; and the acceptance by the public of the administration of the property and excise tax systems through prompt, courteous, honest and thorough services.
