Letter to New Residents

Welcome to the Town of Marshfield!

We are pleased that you made the decision to reside in Marshfield and hope that you have many years
of success and happiness in your new home.


This letter is written as a courtesy to make you aware of the Town’s taxation process as it may not have
been discussed with you at your closing. It will also inform of you of how to access key services that you
are entitled to as a new resident.


The Town real estate tax bills are issued quarterly and are due on August 1st, November 1st, February
1st and May 1st. Personal Property tax bills are issued in the same manner as the real estate tax bills and
apply to businesses and some second residences.  Motor vehicle excise is issued annually to each
registration with the bulk of the bills being due in March. Boat excise is also issued annually. Utility bills
(water, sewer & trash) are issued semi-annually by precinct. You may access more detailed information
about collection procedures at the Treasurer Collector’s site.


It is possible that you have a tax or user fee liability, and not have received a bill. Please call (781) 834-
5548 to determine what, if any, liability exists prior to the above due dates to prevent any interest and
charges. Change of address forms are available at the Assessor’s site.


To obtain recycling bins, landfill permits and trash pick-up information, please contact the Department
of Public Works at 781-834-5575


To register to vote, obtain birth, death and marriage certificates and dog licenses, please contact the
Town Clerk’s Office at 781-834-5540.


The Town Hall hours are Monday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Tuesday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to
