Oxford's 2015 Grand List Increases Modestly

Eva Lintzner, Oxford Assessor, shared the town’s 2015 grand list, which increased over 2014.

The values are as follows:

2015 Grand List 2014 Grand List

• Real Estate $1,233,202,500 $1,238,223,995 (-.4%)
• Personal Property 96,452,200 87,595,060 (+10.1%)
• Motor Vehicle 116,010,590 116,766,392 (-.6%)

Total $1,445,665,290 $1,442,585,447 (+.2%)

“Overall, we have an increase of .2%. The Real Estate has been revalued for the 2015 Grand List. The slight decline in Real Estate value is a reflection of the current Real Estate market.

We took extra time to verify our Motor Vehicle List, however, due to the problems that Motor Vehicle is having, which started with the new computer system that was implemented this summer, we cannot be sure that this value will not change. The Department of Motor Vehicle expects the existing problems to be resolved in the future,” Lintzner said in a letter.

“Personal Property increase was due mostly to Eversource updating their equipment in our town which resulted in new equipment filing. I would like to thank my staff; Assessor’s Assistant, Teresa Geremski, Assessor’s Clerk, Joyce Eades and Personal Property Clerk, Elizabeth Pazsak, for their efforts and dedication. It is due to their diligence that this office runs efficiently,” Lintzner concluded.
