Assessors authorize FY27 state certification filing

Board of Assessors · Meeting of November 2, 2026

Wayland's Board of Assessors unanimously authorized uploading fiscal 2027 certification forms to the state DLS Gateway. The Nov. 2 meeting, listed on its agenda as remote-access only, covered the LA-3, LA-15, LA-4 and LA-13 filings, signed by board members and the finance director on the board's behalf. Staff reported fiscal 2027 new growth of $51,728,910 in value, worth $767,140 on the tax recap, split among $38,670,700 residential, $6,740,900 commercial and $6,317,310 personal property.

Fiscal 2024 was excluded from averages as an outlier tied to the Alta Rivers Edge project, which produced about $90 million in growth value. The disclosure period, Oct. 19 to Oct. 23, drew 28 owner interactions and five site visits, yielding four decreases in value and no increases. Every member who answered the roll call, among them Douglass McNeilly, Zachariah Ventress, E.G. Brandon and Steven Klitgord, voted yes.
