What MassDEP has recorded
- RTN 4-0026292 — Residential property, tier classified (active), status TIER1D · MassDEP file
Within about 500 m (a third of a mile): 1 active tier-classified 21E site and 0 sites with an Activity and Use Limitation. All MassDEP sites in Taunton.
What this means
- Assessed 15% below the median two-family residential in Taunton ($509,900, 1,833 parcels).
- The last deed was recorded for a nominal sum: a transfer between family members, into a trust or a similar non-market sale. It says nothing about the market value.
- A tier-classified site is a release still being cleaned up under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan; the MassDEP file shows the stage reached.
- Built before 1978: the Massachusetts Lead Law applies when a child under six lives there; ask for any lead inspection or letter of compliance.
