Gardner Board Of Assessors Meeting Apr 27 2026

The City of Gardner Massachusetts Board of Assessors held a meeting on April 27, 2026. The meeting included approval of the previous meeting minutes and an update from the assessor's office. A key procurement-related issue discussed was a disruption in the workflow involving building permits, where the assessor's office had been omitted from the permit approval process by the building department. This omission affected the office's ability to verify good standing for permits, which is important for tax collection and monitoring new growth. The issue was identified in late March and, despite assurances from the administrative coordinator to resolve it, the problem remained unresolved as of the meeting date. No contract awards, RFPs, or budget allocations were discussed. The meeting concluded with a planned executive session under state law.
