The values are being disclosed because Belmont submit all the property values to the State Department of Revenue for certification, a process that occurs every three years.

The values are pending preliminary certification from the Massachusetts Department of Revenue. But you can be fairly certain that the figures will not change much, if at all, when the list is given the state's seal of approval.
