Effective May 1, 2026, the real estate tax demand fee will increase to $30.
The Town of Groton periodically reviews fees to ensure they reflect the cost of providing services. The demand fee is charged when a tax/excise payment becomes overdue and a formal demand notice is issued.
This change is authorized under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 60, §15, which allows municipalities to adopt a demand fee up to the state maximum of $30. The updated fee will apply to all demand notices issued on or after May 1, 2026.
2026 Motor Vehicle Excise Bills were issued February 24 2026.
