Motor Vehicle and Trailer Excise Tax
The Motor Vehicle and Trailer Excise Tax is imposed on anyone who registers a motor vehicle or trailer in Massachusetts. A tax is incurred for each year of registration. In some cases, you may qualify for a tax abatement or refund. Please note that filing an abatement application does not stay the collection of your excise tax. To avoid interest charges and collection actions, you must pay your excise tax in full by the deadline on your bill. If an abatement is granted, you will receive a refund for the difference.
Programs & Initiatives
If you are a business, consultant, or non-profit that may be able to support Somerville’s business community, we encourage you to respond to our Request for Information (RFI).
Members will develop a recommendation to the Mayor on both the location and scope of a renovated or new school to meet the needs of the Winter Hill Community Innovation School and potentially the Benjamin G. Brown School.
