FRAMINGHAM – The 11-member elected City Council will hold a property tax classification hearing on Thursday, November 5.

The hearing will be held at 7;15 p.m. virtually.

Framingham has a split tax classification in which home owners play a lower rate than business and commercial and industrial property owners.

The tax rate is based on mayor Yvonne Spicer’s budget approved by the City Council in June 2020.

At said hearing, Board of Assessors shall provide all information and data relevant to making such determination and the fiscal effect of the available alternatives,” said the announcement from the City Council Chair.
