Worcester picks Agawam official as new city assessor

Worcester City Manager Edward Augustus has appointed Samuel Konieczny as the new city assessor, the city announced on Monday.

Konieczny will assume the position effective April 27. As assessor, he and his team will determine the assessed value of commercial, industrial and residential parcels in the city, which determines how much in property taxes those landowners pay.

He replaces William Ford, who left in January to become the assessor for the City of Norwalk, Conn.

Konieczny has eight years of assessing experience. Most recently, he was chief assessor and department head for Agawam. Previously, he was chairman of the Board of Assessors in Cummington, and also worked for a private valuation company specializing in municipal assessment. 

“Mr. Konieczny is the perfect candidate to take on this demanding role,” said Augustus, in a statement. “He is engaged and passionate about his work and has the right combination of skills and experience to lead the Assessing Division and be an integral member of the Administration and Finance Department management team.”
