Mansfield Selectman Owes Property Taxes, Property Could be Placed in Tax Title

MANSFIELD, MA - A Mansfield selectman and his wife owe $4,891 in property taxes for 2015 and their home could be placed in a tax title, according to the town treasurer.

According to a list of potential tax takings to be advertised in the Sun Chronicle by town Treasurer Jacqueline Boudreau, Kozlowski owes a total of $5,824 and will be placed on a tax title if the bill is not paid by April 25.

Kozlowski told the paper that he is confident that he would get the issue resolved.

Boudreau said she is required to advertise potential tax takings that are part of a collection effort.

The multi-step process allows the homeowner to pay their bills or set up a payment play before a tax taking occurs. A lien could be placed on the home if the bill is not paid in full.

More action could be taken in six months.

Kozlowski is currently running for reelection against school committee Chairman Michael Trowbridge and finance committee Chairman Steve Schoonveld.
