Welcome to The Town of Barnstable!
Why do the Assessors need to come to my home?
The
short answer is that per state law, we're required to make these visits.
A Town of Barnstable data collector or contracted employee will visit your
property between the hours of 8:30am - 4:30pm, Monday through Friday. They will
identify themselves as Assessing office employees and will have town-approved
photo IDs with vehicle descriptions to certify this and the Barnstable Police
Department is aware of their presence in your neighborhood.
The data
collector or contracted employee will be carrying a copy of the most recent
field card for your property. The entire purpose of the visit is to make certain
that all of the data for the interior and exterior of your property that is
listed on that field card is as accurate as possible.
If you have any
questions regarding this project, please contact the Assessors' Office at (508)
862-4022.
