Wayland assessors announce RFP awards, building-permit reporting moves to paperless system
Summary
The Director told the Board of Assessors that Bishop & Associates won real-estate services and Real Estate Research Consultants, Inc. won personal-property services for FY 2027–FY 2029; staff also reported the Building Department has gone paperless and a new abatement/exemption certificate form is pending Commissioner of Revenue approval.
During the May 11 meeting the Director reported the results of recent requests for proposals for assessor services. "Bishop & Associates selected for Real Estate Services," the minutes record; the board also noted "Real Estate Research Consultants, Inc. selected for Personal Property Services" for fiscal years 2027 through 2029.
The Director said the Building Department has converted building-permit reporting from paper to a paperless format and that the Assessor's Office has obtained usernames, passwords and reporting capabilities to work with the new system. Staff reported ongoing cyclical and sales inspections and that they have developed an in-house solution for Abatement & Exemption Certificates because the town's MUNIS accounting software does not report cumulative accounting for those certificates; the in-house form is awaiting approval by the Commissioner of Revenue. The Director also said staff are finalizing FY 2026 abatement and exemption filings for in-house processing.
Board members did not raise substantive concerns on the record during the open session; the minutes show no public comment at this meeting.
