Procedure for Paying Taxes

Bills are sent quarterly and payable within 30 days or the due date indicated on the bill. Late payments will be assessed interest and late charges in accordance with the Massachusetts General Law.
 
Payments must be received in the Collector's office by 4:00pm on the due date (1:00pm on Friday). Postmarks are not accepted as receipt dates. Payments must actually be received in the office to avoid additional charges.
 
If you use your banks “On-Line” payments such as “Home Link“ be aware that the Town is actually sent a CHECK.
It may take up to two weeks for the Collector's office to receive the check from your bank.
 
Checks should be made payable to “Town of Lynnfield”
 
Please enclose the remittance portion of the bill to ensure proper credit. If you would like a receipt, enclose a self addressed & stamped envelope with both the payment, the remittance portion and the taxpayer portion.
 
If your taxes are being paid by a bank or mortgage company, please contact them to ensure that they have the correct tax information for your account. Remember, as the property owner you are responsible for the tax obligations.
 
Please do not “post-date" personal checks. Checks are deposited daily. If a check is dishonored by a bank for any reason, a returned check fine of $25.00, plus applicable interest and charges will be added. It is illegal to submit “post-dated” checks for payment.
