The Chairman of the Saugus Board of Assessors wishes to inform all taxpayers that a variety of exemptions are available to reduce the property tax obligations for qualifying taxpayers. The exemptions are granted following an annual review of filed applications by the three member Board of Assessors Dr. Wagner Chairman and members Michael Murphy and Leon Valliere. Taxpayers who have received exemptions in the past cannot carry them over from previous years but must be filed annually with the Board.

It is absolutely necessary that a new application be received by the Board following the Actual Tax Bill due to be received this month and which the tax bill must be paid within 30 days following the date of the mailing whether an exemption is granted or not.

Application requests may be filed for a period of 90 days following mailing; however abatement requests of overvaluations must be filed within a 30 day period on a form available at the Assessors Office and are not considered an exemption.
