Beverly Tax Collector: pay city taxes and reach the right office

The Beverly Collector of Taxes handles the collection and posting of money due to the City, including quarterly real estate taxes, personal property taxes, motor vehicle excise, boat excise, utility charges and other receivables.

Use this guide to reach the official Beverly payment system, confirm City Hall hours, understand quarterly property-tax dates, compare online payment costs and know when your question belongs with the Collector or City Assessors.

Start with the correct office: the Collector handles bills, payments and payment posting. The City Assessors handle property valuation, assessment records, abatements and exemptions. Paying a bill does not correct an assessment, and disputing an assessment does not automatically suspend the payment schedule.

Office responsibilities

What the Beverly Collector of Taxes handles

Personal property taxes

Business or other taxable personal-property accounts are also collected through the City Collector.

Motor vehicle excise

The office bills and collects tens of thousands of motor vehicle excise accounts.

Utility accounts

The Collector participates in billing and collection of City utility receivables.

Parking receipts

Beverly Tax Collector vs City Assessors

One of the most useful distinctions is whether the problem concerns the amount collected or the property assessment behind the bill.

“How much tax do I owe?” Start with the Collector and the City’s official payment/account system.
“Did Beverly receive my payment?” Contact the Collector because payment posting is a collection function.
“Why is my property assessed at this value?” Contact City Assessors, who establish property values and maintain assessment records.
“How do I request an abatement or exemption?” Start with City Assessors. Beverly publishes abatement, exemption and tax-deferral forms through that office.
“I just bought the home and the bill is still wrong.” Beverly advises new homeowners to contact the Assessors Office with ownership information when a tax bill is not being received correctly.
“My mortgage company should have paid.” Check with both the mortgage servicer and Collector before making a second payment.
Abatements & tax relief

Assessment abatements, exemptions and tax deferrals

Beverly’s Assessors page provides forms and guidance for real estate abatements, personal-property abatements, statutory exemptions and qualifying property-tax deferrals. These are assessment or relief matters rather than ordinary payment-processing requests.

Real estate abatement

Use the current fiscal-year form supplied by the City. Filing requirements and deadlines can be year-specific, so do not reuse an old form without checking the current Assessors page.

Personal exemptions

The City links guidance for qualifying seniors, veterans, surviving spouses, blind residents and other statutory categories where Massachusetts law provides relief.

Property-tax deferral

Beverly publishes an application and guidance for qualifying taxpayers seeking a statutory real-estate tax deferral.

Payment during an appeal

Massachusetts appeal rules can depend on timely payment. Do not assume an assessment challenge automatically removes an installment due date.

Troubleshooting

Common Beverly tax-payment problems and what to do

The tax bill never arrived Contact the Collector before the due date. Beverly states that failure to receive the bill does not remove the homeowner’s responsibility for payment.
The property was recently purchased Contact City Assessors if ownership or mailing information has not been updated correctly.
The online payment confirmation is missing Check the email address entered during payment, your bank/card activity and the City account before attempting a duplicate payment.
The payment amount looks wrong Determine whether the issue is an unpaid balance/payment posting question for the Collector or an assessment/value issue for the Assessors.
The mortgage servicer normally pays taxes Confirm whether the servicer already sent the installment before paying directly to avoid an unnecessary duplicate payment.
The online card fee is unexpectedly high Compare the card fee with the City’s no-fee electronic-check option before submitting the transaction.
