How They Can Help

Our core service is property tax appeals, where we challenge assessments we believe exceed fair market value. We conduct comprehensive property inspections, analyze comparable sales data, and prepare detailed appeals packages for submission to local boards. For commercial properties, we provide specialized valuation analysis that considers income capitalization, cost approach, and market comparisons. We also offer assessment review services for property owners who want to understand their current assessment before deciding on an appeal. This includes reviewing assessment notices, analyzing local market trends, and providing written opinions on appeal viability. Our residential tax protest services cover single-family homes, condos, and multi-family properties. We handle all paperwork, represent clients at hearings, and negotiate directly with assessors when possible.

What to Expect

Your process starts with a free assessment review where we analyze your property tax bill and recent sales data. If we identify potential for reduction, we'll provide a clear fee structure and timeline. We then conduct a thorough property inspection, research comparable properties, and prepare your appeal documentation. You'll review everything before submission and we'll represent you at any required hearings. Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months, and you'll receive regular updates throughout the process.

Service Area

We serve all of Greater Boston, including Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Newton, and surrounding communities. Our team is familiar with assessment practices across different municipalities and maintains relationships with local assessors throughout the region. We handle both residential and commercial properties in all Boston-area cities and towns.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
We can provide a free initial review comparing your assessment to recent sales of similar properties. Significant differences may indicate grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing an appeal?
In Massachusetts, you typically have 30 days from the date your tax bill is issued to file an appeal. Some municipalities have different deadlines, so timing is critical.
Will filing an appeal increase my taxes?
No, Massachusetts law prohibits assessors from increasing your assessment as retaliation for filing an appeal. Your taxes can only go down or stay the same.
How much can I expect to save?
Savings vary widely based on the degree of overassessment. Successful appeals typically result in 5-20% assessment reductions, translating to hundreds or thousands in annual tax savings.
Do I need to hire a professional?
While you can file appeals yourself, professionals have access to data, relationships, and expertise that significantly improve your chances of success.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
If we're unsuccessful, you owe nothing under our contingency arrangement. You can also appeal to the state level if you disagree with the local board's decision.
How long do reductions last?
Assessment reductions typically remain in effect until the next revaluation cycle, which occurs every few years depending on your municipality.
Can you handle appeals in multiple towns?
Yes, we're licensed to represent property owners throughout Massachusetts and familiar with procedures in dozens of municipalities across the Greater Boston area.
