Ayer Board of Assessors approved a $67,451.87 motor vehicle excise commitment and a $5,591.88 abatement report at its August 4 meeting. The board voted unanimously on both the 312-bill excise commitment, the fourth of 2026, and the 30-item abatement report covering trade-ins, thefts and accidents. Assessing staff said work continues on converting the town's property valuation system, with commercial and mixed-use records still being corrected before the office can "get approval to use the system and go live." The board discussed inviting Amanda, a town benefits and payroll employee, to fill its vacant third seat through the year.
Janet of the Ayer Affordable Housing Committee asked the board to help promote a September 29 housing forum at the Great Hall featuring Building Inspector Mike Wallace and Town Planner Danny Ruiz.
