Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes
Tax bills are mailed three times a fiscal year and are due quarterly:
The 1st and 2nd quarters are mailed together on or before June 30th. The first quarter is due August 1st and the second quarter is due November 1st.
The 3rd quarter is mailed on or before December 31st and is due February 1st.
The 4th quarter is mailed on or before March 31st and is due May 1st.
If the first falls on a weekend, the bills are due the following Monday.
If you recently purchased a property and did not receive your bill, please call the Tax Collector's office at 508-393-5045.
If you received a bill for a property you have recently sold, you may disregard the bill as it is the responsibility of the new owner to seek out the bill.
Important Notice Regarding Your Online Bank's Bill Pay Service:
If you are paying a bill through your bank's bill pay service, please reference the Parcel ID in the memo and use the mailing address of 63 Main Street (not the Woburn lockbox address). The bill pay payments are mailed from your bank with no remittance stub, which can delay the posting of your tax payment.
Questions and information call 508-393-5045 or 508-393-5046
