Assessor's Dept. - Motor Vehicle Excise

How is the value of a motor vehicle on the excise bill determined?

The value of a motor vehicle for excise purposes is determined by the Commissioner of Revenue at varying percentages of the manufacturer’s list price in the year of manufacture.  Condition and market value are not considerations in determining the value, nor is age after the fifth year. 

When would I be entitled to an abatement?

You may be entitled to an abatement (or refund if the excise is paid) if:

(1) Your vehicle is valued for more than the percentage of manufacturer’s list price in the schedule established by G.L. Ch 60A, Section 1;
(2) Your vehicle is exempt from the excise under G.L. Ch 60A, Section 1;
(3) You sell, trade or otherwise transfer ownership of the vehicle and transfer or cancel your registration during the same calendar year;
(4) You move to another state, register the vehicle there and cancel or not renew your Massachusetts registration during the same calendar year;
(5) Your vehicle is stolen, you report the theft to the police within 48 hours, and you cancel your registration and obtain a certificate from the Registry of Motor Vehicles at least 30 days after the theft;
(6) You register the same vehicle again later in the same calendar year.
 

Who do I notify and what documentation do I need if I sell, transfer, trade, junk or donate my motor vehicle?

You must notify the Assessor’s Office at (781) 397-7100 and provide a copy of your new registration or plate return receipt from the Registry of Motor Vehicles and a copy of the trade-in paperwork, bill of sale or donation or junk yard receipt. 

Who do I call with questions about payments?

For questions regarding the payment of a bill, please contact the tax collector at (781) 397-7090.  If your bill remains unpaid it may be forwarded to P.F. Ryan, Deputy for collection.  You may reach Deputy Ryan’s office at (800) 491-9788.

Further Info:
You are not entitled to an abatement if you (1) cancel your registration and retain ownership of the vehicle or (2) move to another Massachusetts city or town during the same calendar year.

No excise may be reduced to less than $5.00.  No abatement of less than $5.00 will be granted and no refund of less than $5.00 will be made.
