Belmont Override Question - Household Impact Estimator

Use this site to calculate approximate costs for the proposed operating override based on the assessed value (not the Zillow estimate or similar) of your home.
You can look up the assessed value of any property in Belmont using the Assessor's Database. Tip: We suggest searching this database by name.

Who made this?

It was me, Aaron Pikcilingis. I kept seeing impact "estimates" that were just the impact for the average (mean) single-family home. As most single-family homes will be worth less, and more than half of homes in Belmont are not single-family, I feel it is important to provide tools like this one to give a more accurate estimate of the likely impact for a given Belmont household.

Methodology

This calculator currently uses an estimate for the rate impact based on the Division of Local Services' Data Gateway "Property Tax Impact Calculator". I will update it when the Town Finance Office publishes an official tax rate impact.

How does this work?

This all works with Javascript, so you can use your browser's inspector tool to look at its guts to find out more and check my work. It's simple because it's just multiplication, but I hoped making it much more convenient would mean more people would be informed with accurate estimates about the likely cost for their household.
