Weymouth Motor Vehicle Excise Abatement Application

Weymouth Assessing Department
75 Middle Street
Weymouth, MA 02189
 781- 682 - 3677
Excise@weymouth.ma.us

INSTRUCTIONS: To apply for an abatement, or refund if excise has been paid, complete this form and provide the specified documentation.

Abatement applications must be received by the assessors' within 3 years after the excise was due, or 1 year after the excise was paid, whichever is later. To preserve your right to appeal, you must file on time. By law, assessors may only act on late applications in limited circumstances where the excise is still unpaid and their decision in those cases is final.

Filing an application does not stay the collection of your excise bill. To avoid interest, charges and collection action, including non-renewal of your registration, you must pay the bill in full within 30 days of the issue date. You will receive a refund if an abatement is granted.

NOTE: You are not entitled to an abatement if you (1) cancel your registration and retain ownership of the vehicle or (2) move to another Massachusetts city or town during the calendar year. No excise may be reduced to less than $5.00, and no abatement or refund of less than $5.00 may be made.
