Search / pay billCity of Haverhill Property Tax Due Dates and Important Tax Calendar
Haverhill real estate and personal property bills are mailed twice a year, with quarterly payment due dates. February 1 is especially important because it is also tied to abatement timing.
| Date | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| January 1 | Assessment date for the following fiscal year; ownership and characteristics are frozen for valuation. | If you bought after January 1, the bill may still show the January 1 owner. |
| February 1 | Third quarter bill due; final date to file an abatement application for that year. | Pay the bill or get current guidance. Do not wait if you plan to file an abatement. |
| March 1 | Several personal property and organization filing forms are due to the Assessor. | Business and organization taxpayers should verify filing needs early. |
| April 1 | Statutory exemption applications must be filed with the Assessors Office. | Use the Assessor for exemption questions, not the Collector payment counter. |
| May 1 | Fourth quarter bill due. | Confirm payment posted, especially if a mortgage company should pay. |
| August 1 | First quarter bill due. | Review preliminary bill and prior-year estimate logic. |
| November 1 | Second quarter bill due. | Do not wait until the last day if you need proof or escrow correction. |
| Late December | Third quarter tax bill is mailed showing new assessment, tax rate and bill amount. | Compare the new assessment and confirm abatement deadlines if needed. |

Haverhill Motor Vehicle Excise Tax: Calculation, Payment and Abatement Help
Motor vehicle excise is different from real estate tax. The Collector collects the bill, but assessment and abatement issues usually involve the Assessor.
| Excise item | Official rule | Practical meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Excise rate | $25.00 per $1,000 of value | The tax is based on the vehicle value schedule, not your current sale price alone. |
| Value basis | Based on manufacturer’s list price and statutory percentages | The value declines by model year age. |
| Partial-year registration | If registered after January 31, tax runs from the first day of registration month through year-end | A vehicle registered later in the year may be prorated. |
| Abatement question | Assessment/abatement issues go to Assessors | Call 978-374-2316 if the bill is wrong because of sale, move, theft, overvaluation or registration facts. |
What to do before asking for an excise abatement
- Do not ignore the bill while asking for correction.
- Gather registration, cancellation, plate return, sale, theft or move-out proof.
- Contact the Assessor for abatement questions.
- Contact the Collector if the balance is already late or in collection.
