The Fiscal Year 2023 Statutory Exemption filing season is now underway.

In addition, the Community Preservation Surcharge Exemption filing season is underway. The Community Preservation Act which was adopted by Sudbury voters in March of 2002 establishes a funding source financed by surcharge revenues, and the Commonwealth of Mass. (with matching funds), for the purpose of open space, historical preservation and community housing projects and acquisitions. The amount of the surcharge applied to residential tax bills is just under 3% of the residential tax. One of the provisions of the Community Preservation Act is an allowance for exemption of the charge for certain moderate-income seniors, and low-income non-seniors. The attached FY2023-Community Preservation Brochure describes the qualifying income provisions. Applications for the exemption programs described above are included as attachments. If you would like a particular application type mailed, please contact our office either by telephone or by email. 978-639-3393 978-639-3395 assessors@sudbury.ma.us .
