HANOVER — The town is trying to reassure worried residents that no one needs to enter their homes to conduct a townwide property assessment during a worsening pandemic.
Hanover is undertaking the state-mandated reassessment to replace the results of a much-criticized process from two years ago. Now, officials are getting out the word to residents that they do not have to allow town assessors — who are going door to door — inside their homes.
Instead, homeowners can request that the interior inspection be conducted over FaceTime or Skype video call platforms, according to Hanover officials.
