Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Below please find the candidate information sheet for Jason Factor. Mr.
Factor is running opposed for the three year term on the Board of
Assessors.
NAME: Jason Factor
CANDIDATE FOR: Board of Assessors
ADDRESS: 34 Briarwood Dr
TELEPHONE (Cell) NUMBER: 617-792-9737
LENGTH OF RESIDENCY: Moved to Hanover in Aug 2019
Please list relevant experience (education, vocation, etc.) you feel will
be useful in the office you are seeing.
? I am a nationally and locally recognized mortgage loan originator, a
profession that requires me to evaluate property values, review appraisals,
and help homeowners understand how taxes impact their financial decisions.
? I regularly analyze appraisals, interpret valuation data, and, when
necessary, challenge those values. Just as importantly, I work closely with
clients to clearly explain how a value was determined so they can make
informed financial decisions with confidence.
? I also serve on the Executive Board of the Hanover Chamber of Commerce,
where I work alongside local business owners to support and advocate for
our business community. This experience gives me valuable insight into the
priorities and concerns of both residents and businesses in Hanover.
What are the major issues confronting the town which involve your office?
Please express your opinion on these issues and how you propose to deal
with them.
? Hanover’s recent adoption of a split tax rate for commercial
properties will require ongoing evaluation. As a member of the Board of
Assessors, collecting accurate data and monitoring the long-term impact of
this policy will be critical in informing future financial decisions for
the town. If elected, I will focus on providing clear, reliable data to
town officials and residents to support responsible fiscal planning.
? Rising home values across the South Shore have increased the importance
of fair, competitive, and transparent assessments. Homeowners want to
understand how their property is valued and how it affects their taxes. I
would prioritize clear communication and accessibility, ensuring residents
have the information they need to plan and make informed financial
decisions.
? There are a number of potential tax exemptions available to Hanover
residents and businesses. In my conversations with people in town, I have
heard mixed responses on the attainability and understanding. If elected, I
would strive to ensure that eligible businesses and homeowners are aware of
the available resources and strive to make them more accessible.
Why are you running for this office?
Hanover’s form of government depends on active citizen participation. It
is a community shaped by those who show up, get involved, and give back.
I have always tried to contribute in that way—through coaching youth
sports, serving with the Chamber of Commerce, and participating in town
meetings.
When I was approached about this opportunity, I saw it as a meaningful way
to apply my professional experience in service of the community. I am
running because I believe I can help local businesses and homeowners ensure
that our property assessments are fair, accurate, and clearly understood.
