The real estate tax issue of the Soule Homestead property in Plympton rears its ugly head repeatedly and still seems to have failed to reach a satisfactory resolution.

An examination of the classification of municipal land owned by other towns might provide greater insight were town officials to investigate.

MIDDLEBORO —
The town has won an appeal before the Plympton Board of Assessors that reduces its tax payment on 25 acres of the Soule Farm that is in Plympton.
Barbara Erickson, Middleboro’s assessor-appraiser, said the Plympton Board of Assessors agreed to reduce the assessed value from $407,400 to $301,900. The reduction will mean a savings of $1,335.63 for fiscal year 2009.
Erickson said the value was reduced based on information she provided following a review of its sales analysis, land charts and Department of Environmental Protection wetland maps.
