Summary
At its June 4 meeting the Town of Yarmouth Board of Assessors unanimously authorized the Assessor's office to issue preliminary FY2027 tax bills if needed and approved administrative steps to stamp exemption, abatement and denial paperwork; the director also reported a motor vehicle tax commitment issued May 21.
YARMOUTH — The Town of Yarmouth Board of Assessors voted unanimously June 4 to allow the assessor's office to issue preliminary fiscal year 2027 tax bills if necessary and to authorize administrative stamping of statutory exemption, abatement and denial forms.
Board member Pauline Israelian called the meeting to order at 10:05 a.m. and, according to meeting minutes, Director of Assessing Andy Machado reported that the third motor vehicle commitment for 2026 was issued on May 21, 2026, with payments on that commitment due by June 22, 2026. Machado also told the board the office is preparing for the FY2027 statutory exemption filing period, which the minutes record as opening July 1, 2026 and running through April 1, 2027.
A motion to authorize the Assessor's office to issue preliminary FY2027 tax bills "if necessary" was made and seconded and the board voted unanimously to approve the motion. The minutes do not record the names of the member who moved and seconded that specific motion.
Under new business, the board unanimously approved a motion authorizing staff to stamp all statutory exemption applications, abatement applications and denial notices, and separately approved and signed the monthly assessor's reports. The minutes state that board members signed the monthly reports following the vote.
Carlene Jones moved to adjourn, and Pauline Israelian seconded; the board voted unanimously to adjourn at 10:35 a.m. The next meeting is scheduled for July 2, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. in Yarmouth Town Hall, Conference Room A. Assistant Assessor Tara Monroe submitted the minutes for the June 4 meeting.
The actions taken on June 4 are administrative in nature: the authorizations enable the Assessor's office to prepare bills and manage paperwork ahead of the formal FY2027 billing and exemption cycle. The minutes do not record individual roll-call votes or a numerical tally beyond indicating each motion passed unanimously.
