Tax Maps

The following tax maps have been made available by the Board of Assessors for folks to download and print. Opening the index first allows you to narrow in on the map of interest by number - then access the corresponding numbered file.

The Board of Assessors announces access to the new online GIS tax mapping site: www.caigisonline.com/charlemontma. It’s got some great features! Check out Charlemont in this new interactive way! The tool does rely on Microsoft Silverlight technology which must be available for the site to function properly.
