On August 24, 2026, the Gardner Board of Assessors convened to address administrative updates, record retention protocols, and the status of tax certifications. The meeting highlights include the processing of 437 motor vehicle abatements totaling over $65,000 since the start of the year and a significant shift in state-mandated procedures for certifying new growth and property values. Due to new requirements from the State, which now demand the simultaneous submission of sales analyses and personal property data, the board expects certification to be finalized by early October 2026. The public portion of the meeting concluded with a motion to enter an executive session to comply with statutory regulations.
