Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a property tax appeal successful?
Strong comparable sales data, accurate property condition assessment, and understanding of local assessment practices. We build cases based on solid market evidence and present them effectively.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely based on property type and degree of overassessment. Successful appeals often result in 10-30% tax reductions, sometimes more for significantly overvalued properties.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes, we provide free initial assessments to evaluate your property's appeal potential. This helps determine if you have grounds for a successful appeal.
What information do you need to evaluate my case?
We need your recent tax bills, assessment notices, property details, and information about any conditions affecting value. We can guide you through gathering additional documentation.
Can you help with commercial properties as well as homes?
Absolutely. We handle both residential and commercial property tax appeals, with experience across various property types including office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial properties.
What if my previous appeal was unsuccessful?
Previous unsuccessful appeals don't prevent future ones. We can review what happened before and develop new strategies if circumstances have changed or if the previous appeal wasn't handled optimally.
How do Massachusetts property tax appeals work?
Appeals start with local boards of assessors and can proceed to the state Appellate Tax Board if necessary. We handle the entire process and represent you at all levels.
When is the best time to file a property tax appeal?
Appeals must be filed within three months of assessment notices. However, consulting with us early in the year helps identify potential issues before assessments are finalized.
