MEMORANDUM
To Board of Selectmen
Fromndrew W. M"aayl i Town Mu a e
cc' Dyne Savage
Date: November 23, 20,15,
Re: fax Class'flcatlon Hearin
o
BACKGROUND
Attached are the calculati nls in support of the upcoming tax classification hearing. Thule documents
were preparie,d by Assessor Garrett Bolies,with the assista�nce of Dyne Savage and myself. Please note
that the board's actiins regarding this matter rellateto FY16 currentyears) but have no effect on any
budgets since those have already been a�pprocd bytown meeting.The result of the hearing will be
d t rmine the phare of property taxes paid by each class of taxpayer.
You should note that this meeting isintended, to set the, Residential Factor which shifts a portion of the
tax levy from residential tax payers to, commercial tax payers. A Factor of 1.0 results in no shift and
Factor of 1.36 would be, interpreted as,meaning that the commercial alues,would be increased by 136
of their true value. You are not direictly setting tax rates, but a tax rate will result when you set a Factor
and that Factor will, affect the tax blilll received by each class of taxpayer. In North Andover, on average a
Factor of 1,.0
(no shift), results in residential taxpayers bearing approximiately 7 of the tae burden and
commercial/industrial tali payers are responsible for the ether 131.
In FY13 the Factor,voted by the beard resulted in a shift of approximately %from residential to
commercial/industrial., Meanin that res�identilal taxpayers would cover approximately 3 (87%-4% f
the burden and com ercial/industrial increasing to approximately 17%(13%+4%). In the two fiscal.
years since then the board has voted to set the,factor at whatever number would keep the percentage
relation at approximately 83%/17%so that the total percentage paid each class would remain the same.
FY16
:--7 7-- -7---, -7
Based on that practice, the documents attached assume a Fite,.,o''f,13,6 for FY16 which will result in the
same 879/o/13% relationship approved in years past. The Factor last year was 1.34. The reason that the
Factor must increase this year to keep the, percentages approximately the same is the result of
residential property values increasing greater than commercial values, although both increased.Again,
the goal in past several years was to focus on the result of the Factor and not the Factor itself.
If a 1.36 Factor for FY16 was voted by the Board on November 30,. 2015 the result would be a reduction
in the median single family tax bill of$33, and an increase in the commercial/industrial tax bill of$103
(2.28%).As a result,on the surface it would seem like a decrease in the Factor would make sense this
year. However, it is important to note that the reason that median single family tax bills will decrease
has less to do with the Factor and more to,do,with conservative revenue estimates and dramatic
increases in values of the other residential property types, Condominiums and Multif dwellings.
Condominiums in fact have seen increase in value olf nearly 15%and the result will be an increase of
nearly 14%in the tax bill of the median value Condominium. Small Multifamilies (2-3 units),_are affected
similarly,.Therefore,a decrease'in the Factiormoulid reduce commercial/industrial tax bills but further
increase Condominium and Multifamily tax bills Which are already going up by double digits.
In addition to the calculation or s Bets II have attached a letter posted by the Assessor several weeks
ago regarding the FY16 property values.

Re: Tax Classification
Dear Chairwoman Watson and Members of the Board:
On behalf of the Chamber of Commerce members from North Andover, please accept this letter in support of the
Chamber's position that we respectfully submit, that property taxes continue to remain one of the addressable costs
r doing or business within North Andover.,
The business and industrial community within North Andover, continue to face increasing competition for retail,
11
manufacturing)*ot)s and services.,
The competition for an active downtown, manufacturing anct processional services remain ever present. As such, the
reduction of property taxes serves to assist these companies to remain viable and to keep literally thousands of jobs,
while still paying a fair property tax.,
r"fhe ever rising costs,to business and industry not only affect the large companies, but in nearly all cases, small and
mict-size manufacturing and retail companies face even greater pressure in making payrolls and paying lease/mort-
gage obligations.
The property tax cost is one area where a reduction can, and will, assist companies, in remaining competitive and
assist their continued operation) during the time of a national economic slowdown.
The Chamber, in recognition oft ese and other related factors, respectfully request that the Town of North Andover
reduce the business and industry tax classification rate.
Thank y u or y consideration.
Very trul

RE,* Tax Classification
Dear Honorable Members of the Board of Selectmen,
1 am writing to ask you to recognize that your Board's annual determination of
Tax Rates for Fiscal 2016 should take into, account the resulting percentage
increase in taxes to existing taxvia �ersin the Residential and CIP classifications
o
Asyou are aware, residential property values are generally much easier to
obtain in the market place than changes in CIP properties for a number of
obvious reasons, including the number and extent of sales recorded and
documented at current prices,, However,, valuations of commercial, industrial
and personal property, (CIP)properties generally are difficult to determine given
the lax of ongoing sales activity' nid sales of entities owning CIP properties are
not required to be recorded, in many insrancesf
For this and other reasons, you should generally seek a tax rate that results in
an equal percentage increase to both groups of existing property owners,
without regard to current year's new growth. This provides that each class bear
61
the same equal percentage increase in tax increases and is achieved by
adjusting the classification rate on CIP properties. Perhaps more importantly it
allows the town's tax base to benefit from new growth of CIP and Residential
properties,
As the attached schedule show, since,21011 existing Residential property owners,
as a class, have had to pay the annual percentage tax increase that total
IL46%, while CIP property owners have actually seen a 5,96% decrease in taxes
over the same period. In 2015 alone
despite,$396,244 on new CIP taxes, existing
CIP taxes actually decreased by$78,978 or.73 . In 2013 CIP new growth taxes
increased by$405,205, yet existing CIP taxes decreased by$609,558 or 5.96%.
In total, since 2004 existing residential property taxpayers have had total
annual Increases of 37,93%(an average of 116%Per Yr.) or$13,,260
.o827
compared to only a 13,90%(an average of 1.16%Per Yr.) or just$892.,683.
While the benefits of CIP growth, can, be argued, its purpose clearly is.to increase
It
North Andover's tax base and not to provide future direct subsidies from
residential tax payers for annualtax,increliases., The failure to adopt a
1" 11 .
classification rate for CIP taxes that prolvid I es the SAME percentage increase that
residential property taxpayers recie live, eliminates the benefit of CIP growth and
results insubsidies being paid by hillomelowners for CIP annual tax increases.
N W&
Given that past tax increases have unfairly been allocated to residential
"1 0
taxpayers, you should consider adopt I ng the maximum tax rate allowed by low
i
until such time as the cumulative increase n taxesfor existing taxpayers In both
groups has been equalized on a percentage basis.
In closing, I understand that there,can be major changes to existing taxpayer
groups and these should be taken, into consideration, but only after an analysis
is done to effect a common percentage increase to both group and this is bone
by selecting a rate for CIP to yield this some,percentage increase to both groups.
Then unusual occurrences, such a miajor,reductions in values, can then be
adjusted so that It is borne by both groups,fairly. I am available to review this
matter and the attached schedules and would be happy to do so. Thank you for
IN
your consideration andfor all`of your hard'work,
Respectfully subfnitted
Ile,
Robert Ercolini
