This includes residential, commercial, and municipal property. Committee actions include: Outreach and education to town residents and businesses, Application for higher level government grant programs, Work with town departments to improve energy efficiency, Maximize the benefit of renewable energy for municipal and private property. Windsor - A Green Community As an active green community, Windsor is positioned to receive substantial grants towards addressing environmental and energy efficiency issues. Windsor is among 297 Massachusetts communities committed to finding clean energy solutions that reduce long-term energy costs and strenghten our local economies. Information Homeowners with grid tied photovoltaic arrays (i.e., "solar") are invited to send their meter readings to the Green Committee to be included in this chart, with data from other residents. This chart [spreadsheet] calculates what portion of electricity used in your home is from your array. Municipal Aggregation Plan Windsor has developed a Municipal Aggregation Plan which enables Windsor to combine the purchasing power of its residents and businesses to provide them with an alternative to Eversource Basic Service (M.G.L. c. 164, § 134). The program is supported by Colonial Power Group . For more information, please read: Sept 10, 2026 Update – For Windsor participants in Aggregation: As of August 1st, Eversource has posted the new rate for residential electricity: $0.15934/ kWh. This is an increase that puts Eversource's rate higher than the aggregation rate, which is $0.14292/ kWh. Although it may look like peanuts; when you multiply the difference by the number of kWh you typically use over the course of a month; it adds up! The Green Committee is recommending that everyone who opted out of aggregation over the last period, (when Eversource's rates were the lower of the two), consider opting back in. Anyone who had opted out of aggregation at any point is welcome to join in for lower rates. If you never opted out.. you are automatically in! To opt in: go to or call First Point at 888-875-1711 and ask to opt in. To access Eversource's basic service rates visit this webpage . Oct 2025 Press Release [pdf] Aug 2024 Public Notice [pdf] Note: the default Residental Rate of $0.1252 per kWh is about 1.5 cents per kWh less than the existing Eversource basic service of $0.14023 (about a 10% savings). Even the optional Renewable 5 option of $0.1272 (which provides 5% more Class 1 Renewable energy above the state's current requirement for renewables, which is 24% in 2024) saves almost as much.

b61ce40a-21de-4b21-bef2-753acd0ff2c4 How & What to Get Inspected Windsor requires inspections for many aspects of construction including electric, gas & plumbing, and various health related activities such as septic and water. Many of these inspections are described in the town Zoning Bylaws. Click here for contact Information for building, electric, gas & plumbing, and conservation inspectors.. Septic System Requirements Essentially all homes in Windsor have septic systems. Massachusetts Title 5 rules [site] specify how to install, use, and maintain these systems. It is the policy of the Windsor Board of Health that all Title 5 septic system inspections must be witnessed by an agent of the Board of Health. Contact the Berkshire Public Health Alliance to schedule a witness by emailing inspectors@berkshireplanning.org or or 413-684-3811 ext 7. Perc Requirements There are two components of septic system design: soil evaluation and actual design. Soil evaluation consists of noting where your property lines may be so that test holes can be dug. These holes will locate your soil absorption system, which handles the fluid part of septic wastes. This step also includes actually digging the test holes with a backhoe and performing a soil examination and percolation test ("perc"). More info at the Massachusetts Title 5 description for homeowners [site]. Perc Witness requests, T5 witness requests and installation inspection requests should all go through inspectors@berkshireplanning.org or 413-684-3811 ext 7.

dd8ab326-b8bd-4319-a46e-9c9bf64cb2e1 Motor Vehicles Excise Taxes The Town of Windsor requires that an "Excise Tax" be paid for motor vehicles that are owned by town residents. This Motor Vehicle Excise Tax is assessed on a calendar year basis (January-December). The valuation of the vehicle is determined by the Department of Motor Vehicles using the manufacturer’s recommended retail price when new multiplied by the applicable percentage: In the year preceding the year of manufacture: 50% In the year of manufacture: 90% In the second year: 60% In the third year: 40% In the fourth year: 25% In the fifth and succeeding years: 10% Excise tax rate is $25.00 per thousand of valuation. Excise taxes are prorated on a monthly basis. The annual excise due on a vehicle registered after January 1 will be reduced by one-twelfth of the full year’s excise for every month prior to the month in which the vehicle was registered. The minimum an excise bill may be is $5.00. Abatements are available if during a calendar year ownership of a motor vehicle is transferred by sale or otherwise and the registration is cancelled or transferred to another vehicle. Both actions are necessary to qualify for an abatement. Abatements may be requested up three years following the year to which the excise relates. Proof of ownership transfer and registration cancellation or transfer will be requested. The minimum an abatement may be is $5.00. FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax Why am I still getting an excise tax bill when I no longer have that car? You must always either transfer or cancel your plates when you no longer have a vehicle. For as long as your plate is active, you will receive an excise tax bill. REMEMBER: It is important that the bill for a vehicle you no longer own is NOT IGNORED. Interest and fees may accumulate and result in non-renewal of license and/or registration. When am I entitled to an excise tax abatement? You are entitled to an abatement on your excise tax when you DISPOSE OF THE VEHICLE and either CANCEL or TRANSFER YOUR PLATES to a new vehicle. The Assessors’ office requires that you present the proper documentation along with an Application for Abatement for an abatement to be granted. If the plate is lost, you must file for a lost plate receipt with the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Who is entitled to an excise tax exemption? Chapter 60A, Section 1 of the Massachusetts General Laws provide excise tax exemptions for vehicles owned by certain disabled individuals and veterans, ex-prisoners of war and their surviving spouses and certain charitable organizations. Please contact our office for further details on eligibility. Related Services Tax Abatement & Exemption Applications Related Boards & Departments Assessor
