Abutters List and Special Reports
Beginning January 1st, 2025, the Groton Assessors will implement a fee schedule for Abutters Lists and Special Report Requests. These fees will help offset staff time required to prepare accurate, verified materials for public use.
Requests may be submitted by email, phone or, in person. Fees must be made prior to the release of documents.

Abutters are property owners immediately adjacent to or within a specified radius of any given property.
A Certified Abutters List is a current list of abutters located within specified distance from a specific property as required by local bylaw or Massachusetts General Law. This list is used to notify these abutters of a future meeting / hearing to be held by a various elected Boards or Commissions regarding that property.
What is a special report?
