Barnstble, MA Assesses Unfairly

Barnstable non-resident/non-voting taxpayers are being unfairly taxed due to a $105,000 assessment reduction granted to full time residents. This amounts to an average $650 tax penalty levied on the 7,000+ non-residents. Some 15,540 residents are benefiting.


For the non-voting/non-resident owners this is clearly TAXATION WIHTOUT REPRESENTATION – a notion long ago abused. Nonetheless, the Barnstable Town Council voted it in a year ago. In November, unless Council members hear loud opposition, they could renew the program for another year.


Please tell the Council we care about equity – You can show your objections by mailing the stub below to:
