New in-house assessor available for appointments after town revaluation
Summary
The Board heard from Nick Taaffe, the town's new part-time in-house assessor, who explained the revaluation process, noted he is available for appointments twice weekly and invited property owners to bring specific addresses for review.
Town Administrator Laura Buono introduced Nick Taaffe, who recently took a part-time role as Hillsborough’s in-house assessor after the town ended a contract with an outside agency. Taaffe said he has worked in Hillsborough for many years, is familiar with local properties, and invited residents to schedule appointments on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to review specific valuation questions.
Taaffe explained that questions about apparent inconsistencies in percentage changes between properties require review of individual property cards and lot details; he asked residents to provide addresses so he can pull tax card data and follow up. Town staff member Norm Bernaiche, who works alongside Taaffe, was unable to attend but is available for future meetings if the board has further questions.
The board took the presentation as an opportunity to encourage residents with valuation concerns to make appointments for detailed reviews rather than rely on general percentage explanations at the hearing.
