Hadley Assessors Keep Nursing Home Classified Commercial
Hadley's Board of Assessors upheld the commercial tax classification of a local nursing home after an ownership change prompted a challenge.
Board of Assessors · Meeting of April 14, 2026
Hadley's Board of Assessors upheld the commercial tax classification of a local nursing home after an ownership change prompted a challenge. The board voted unanimously to send a written response, drafted for town counsel contact Jennifer, affirming the business classification rather than residential. A member noted Hadley "didn't have a split tax rate," suggesting that's likely why the challenge was raised by someone unfamiliar with the town.
The board also approved remaining motor vehicle excise abatements and a warrant commitment, and authorized a staff member to submit the town's Form MDM and veterans exemption reimbursement filing to the state before month's end. The meeting closed with a roll-call vote, 2-0, to enter executive session on 18 pending fiscal year 2026 abatement applications.
