Thank you for visiting the Assessors' page for the City of Gloucester.  We hope you find the information helpful.  For applications, brochures, a copy of your deed and links to other useful web pages go to the "links" section of our page.

The assessors are responsible for valuing all real and personal property within the City of Gloucester for tax purposes.  Our assessments will differ from an independant appraiser due to the mass appraisal methods required to be used in according with the state law, MGL 59 and the timeframe of which the assessments reflect.

We are also responsible for administering motor vehicle and boat excise tax, however, the assessors do not determine value for these excise tax bills.  The values are set strictly by the state.

Abatements for real and personal property and motor vehicle and boat excise are the responsibility of the assessors.
