Motor Vehicle Excise

Motor Vehicle Excise bills are assessed on a calendar year, not on a fiscal year. There are no statutory dates on which excise bills must be due.

Excise bills are sent to taxpayers by the Town of Holden throughout the year as groups of bills known as Commitments are received by the Town from the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles.  Approximately three-fourths of all excise bills will be mailed in theFirst Commitment as a single group, usually during the last week of February, and will be due, by statute, in 30 days.  

The balance of the bills will be sent in groups throughout the rest of the calendar year as additional commitments of bills are received by the Town from the Registry.

The Town of Holden has no control over which bills will be included in any particular commitment as received from the Registry of Motor Vehicles.  Please call the Collector’s Office at (508) 210-5510 if you think that you may have an outstanding Motor Vehicle Excise Bill.
