Stockbridge Assessors Approve Minutes, Near FY27 Sign-Off
Other Committee · Meeting of September 15, 2026
Stockbridge assessors near FY27 valuation sign-off, flag tax-bill outsourcing risks. The principal assessor reported a median assessment ratio of 97 percent of market value and a coefficient of dispersion of 7.47, both within state limits, with condominium sales at a decade-high 12 transactions. New growth is projected between $75,000 and nearly $100,000 in tax revenue, roughly $11 million to $12 million in added value.
The office welcomed new floating clerk Marie Ryan and raised concerns after a trial run outsourcing tax bill printing to a deputy collector drew resident complaints about missing mail, warning "they got lost in the mail when they were separate." The board approved its prior minutes and voted to adjourn, both unanimously, with no public comment and no decision yet on this year's tax-bill handling.
