In order to change a name or trustee’s name on a real estate tax bill, the Assessor’s Office must receive a copy of a recorded deed or newly recorded trustee document filed at the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds or Land Court.
In order to remove a decedent’s name from a real estate tax bill, the Assessor’s Office requires a recorded copy of a Death Certificate or Inheritance Tax Release of Lien. If the ownership is held as Tenancy by the Entirety or Joint Tenancy, the decedent’s name will be removed. If the ownership is Tenancy in Common, the Assessor’s Office will make the change once the probate has been finalized.
In the event your name has changed, please provide the Assessor’s Office with the appropriately recorded document(s) from the Registry of Deeds or Land Court.
