Why does my tax bill still have the previous owner's address?

You will continue to see the name of the previous owner of record as of January 1st of the year that you bought your home on your tax bill through the end of the next fiscal year.

A home purchased in May of 2021 (Fiscal year 21) for example will carry the name of the owner of record on January 2021 until the end of Fiscal year 22 which ends on June 30th, 2022.  

See M.G.L. Chapter 59 Section 11 for more information and/or contact the Assessor's Office at 978-779-5556 with any questions.
