LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — The first commitment of the fiscal 2015 motor vehicle excise taxes are due on Thursday, March 26. Bills were mailed on Feb. 24.

Payments received after March 26, will be subjected to 12 percent interest after the due date.

Taxpayers are asked to please include the Collector Copy (bottom half) of their bill with their payment. Payments should be mailed to the Town of Lanesborough, Tax Collector, P.O. Box 1616, Lanesborough, MA 01237.


Taxpayers are reminded that if they have received a bill and no longer own the vehicle, they need to contact the Board of Assessors to file for an abatement. The Board of Assessors can be reached at 413-442-8622.
