State Owned Land Valuations

The Commissioner of Revenue determines the fair cash value of certain tax-exempt state owned land (SOL) to be used to determine the Cherry Sheet reimbursement for loss of taxes distributed to the city or town each year.

Reimbursable State-Owned Land Valuations

DLS calculates the values of state-owned land properties located within a community which, subject to appropriation, will be reimbursed by the Commonwealth.  Below you will find the values issued by the Division for those parcels that will be reimbursed through the cherry sheet. From this report you can also view final values since FY2020.

Reimbursable State-Owned Land Values

These values are used to determine, subject to appropriation, the amount of state reimbursement under the State-owned Land cherry sheet.  Cherry sheet estimates can be found on the DLS Data Analytics page.  Once the annual state budget cycle is complete, these final values will be used to allocate the reimbursement for the year.
