Sugarloaf Condo residents demand tax relief after 35%-40% property tax hikes, citing unfair assessments and pushing for new legislation.
Residents of Sugarloaf Condominiums in South Deerfield are demanding answers after property tax bills for fiscal year 2026 jumped 35% to 40%, with some increases exceeding $2,700.
They cite high sale prices due to demand for accessible housing and disparities in assessment values compared to nearby areas.
The Deerfield Board of Assessors acknowledged the steep rise, attributing it to market trends and population growth, but confirmed it does not review each property individually.
Residents argue they are being unfairly targeted and are pushing for legislative change, including S.2899, which would create a “senior qualifying property” category to lower taxes for older homeowners.
The bill passed the state Senate and is now under consideration in the House.
The board plans to investigate further and will provide a written response.
