CIDARE Property Inspections to be conducted in Franklin, MA between September 22 and October 11, 2025

A property inspection is essential for ensuring your property record is accurate and that we can perform fair and equitable property valuations.

This year, the Town of Franklin has partnered with CIDARE to field collect and process data for 225 specific single family homes. Notification letters have been mailed to each of the property owners and were mailed on Tuesday, September 16, 2025. The homes were identified for inspection as the result of a recently issued building permit or because we have not yet verified the construction associated with a prior issued permit.

Please note that we will be updating this map as we make visits. Blue represents parcels that have yet to be visited. Yellow represents parcels that have been visited. 

Data collectors will be visiting properties between September 22 and October 11. Upon arrival, they will knock on your door and introduce themselves. If you are home and it is convenient, they will conduct a full inspection. If no one is available, a notice will be left with instructions to contact the Franklin Assessors’ Office.

Inspections consist of two parts:

Interior Inspection: A data collector will walk with you through the property, noting overall condition and any permit-related changes. This portion typically takes 10–15 minutes.

Exterior Inspection: Using a 3D laser scanner (LIDAR), the data collector will walk around the property to measure buildings, take updated photographs, and document any visible changes. This portion takes approximately 10 minutes. If the property is unfenced and no one is home, the exterior inspection will still be performed.
