Berkley Selectmen, Assessors meet for FY2026 tax-classification hearing
Summary
On Nov. 19, 2025 the Board of Selectmen and the Board of Assessors met to discuss FY2026 tax-classification options. The session provided selectmen information about choices among residential, commercial, industrial, personal property and open-space classifications; no final classification decision is recorded in the minutes.
The Board of Selectmen convened a public hearing Nov. 19, 2025 at 6:05 p.m. in the Moitoza-Pettey Hearing Room to consider the Fiscal Year 2026 tax classification for the town of Berkley.
Jennifer Vincent, Chair of the Board of Selectmen, was listed on the hearing notice along with Tabitha McCrohan, Clerk, and member Mark T. Horsfall. The notice invited written or oral comments from attendees and specified that selectmen would establish classifications for residential, commercial, industrial, personal property and open space.
Members of the Board of Assessors reconvened with the Selectmen at 6:06 p.m. to provide information about the options available to the Selectmen in setting the FY2026 tax classification. The meeting minutes record that the Assessors "met with the Board of Selectmen to provide information relative to the various options before the Board of Selectmen during the FY2026 Tax Classification Hearing." The minutes do not record a vote or final classification at that time.
A motion to adjourn was made at 6:09 p.m. by Jeanne Russo and seconded by Lisa Tetreault, and the meeting was closed shortly thereafter. The record does not indicate any public comments or a final action to set the tax-rate classification during the time covered in these minutes; the notice and minutes together show the hearing occurred and that the Assessors supplied information to aid the Selectmen's decision.
Any final classification decision or vote is not recorded in the provided minutes and would appear in subsequent minutes or in the Selectmen's official vote record if taken later that evening.
