Assessed value history — verify before relying on this
A third-party, assessor-derived listing (re-checked during this site's Sept. 4, 2026 factual audit) shows the property's assessed value moving from $320,000 (2020) to $2,297,900 (2024) to $4,561,300 (2025) to $1,830,300 (2026) — a 433% jump, a further 95% jump, then a 62% drop.
This kind of volatility often reflects removal from a Chapter 61/61A/61B current-use program and/or reassessment following a sale, rather than ordinary market appreciation and depreciation. These figures come from a third-party listing site, not directly from the Town Assessor's own database, and should not be treated as fully confirmed until cross-checked there.
Key sources
- Property tax assessment history (2009–2026) and 565.77-acre lot size for 30 Howland Road — Redfin (public assessor-derived listing data), 2026 (live document — verify current version)Independently re-fetched during this site's Sept. 4, 2026 factual audit. Confirms the $320,000 (2020) and $4,561,300 (2025) figures and adds a 2026 assessment of $1,830,300 — a 62% drop from 2025. This third-party listing is assessor-derived but has not been cross-checked against the Town Assessor's own database directly; the volatility pattern (roughly flat 2009–2023, then +433% in 2024, +95% in 2025, −62% in 2026) is consistent with, but does not confirm, exit from a Chapter 61/61A/61B current-use program followed by reassessment.
Financial responsibility for road repair, reclamation, monitoring, and environmental obligations should be enforceable regardless of ownership changes, financing structure, or a future sale of the property or operator — this is a documented permitting consideration, not commentary on the current owners. This page summarizes publicly available business history relevant to evaluating project experience and capacity. It does not allege wrongdoing or speculate about intent.
