| 159.1 | assesment higher | JOSIE::JCURLEY |  | Mon Jun 12 1989 12:24 | 9 |

    My tax bill went up at least that amount also, the change was primarily
    was related to the increase in the assesment of my house.  Which was
    30% higher than what I paid for it 3 years ago.
    
    There is an appeals process outlined on the back of the tax bill that
    you could look at.

| 159.2 | House jumps 86%, land jumps 387%? | SCIVAX::BURNS |  | Tue Jun 13 1989 11:11 | 5 | 
|  |     It was my land assessment that went up. When I bought the place
    3 years ago the land was assessed at 23.6. The latest assessment
    was 91.3.  I have 1/4 of an acre of land, so that works out to 365k
    for an acre of land in Maynard. Does anyone else have anywhere near
    this kind of assessment for their land?

|  |     My understanding is that the minimum for a buildable lot went up
    to about 90.0 K for a quarter acre, so yours is right in line.
    However, you can't use simple math to get a cost per acre.  That
    would be too easy.   What you've done is get the cost for four
    quarter-acre buildable lots, all legally separate and deeded and 
    ready to be developed.  I don't know how they figured the value of
    lots larger than 1/4 acre.  
    Believe it or not, buildable lots on Summer Street have gone for 
    100 K and up during the past year or soz.

| 159.4 | 100% valuation | JOSIE::JCURLEY |  | Tue Jun 13 1989 12:26 | 12 |

    I have 4000 sq ft (an old house), my land was assessed at 86 or 89K.
    
    With 100% valuation under 2 1/2, property values are determined
    by looking at actual sales of similar properties.  If as .3 says
    that buildable lots on Summer Street have gone for 100 K and up,
    then that's probably why we have had such a large re-assesment
    of our land.
    
    Could be worse...our property values could be dropping.
