A Staff member announced that cyclical property inspections are underway in Norton as part of the Massachusetts Department of Revenue's certification requirements.
The Staff member said the town contracted with PK Valuation Group to assist with the inspections and named Benjamin Ketelson as the inspector who will be conducting visits on behalf of the town. The notice stated that Ketelson "will carry identification" and "is driving a gray Toyota," and that the Norton Police Department has been notified of his presence in town.
Residents were told they may verify inspections or ask questions by contacting the Assessing Department at 508-285-0270. The Staff member did not specify a schedule for each neighborhood or a deadline for completion; residents seeking more detail were directed to the town website.
The announcement framed the inspections as routine work to keep property records accurate and up-to-date for state certification.
