How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services include detailed assessment reviews where we analyze your property's current valuation against comparable sales and market data. We handle residential tax protests for single-family homes, condos, and multi-family properties, ensuring your assessment reflects fair market value. For commercial clients, we provide specialized commercial property tax consulting covering office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and investment real estate. Valuation analysis forms the backbone of our approach. We conduct thorough market studies, physical property inspections, and income analysis for commercial properties. Our team prepares and files all necessary appeal documentation, represents you at informal hearings with local assessors, and handles formal appeals before the Appellate Tax Board when needed. We also offer annual monitoring services to catch assessment increases early and provide ongoing tax reduction consulting to optimize your long-term property tax strategy.

What to Expect

Your journey starts with a free assessment review where we analyze your current property tax bill and recent comparable sales. If we identify potential savings, we'll provide a detailed report outlining our findings and recommended next steps. Most clients choose our contingency-fee structure, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We handle all paperwork and deadlines, from filing initial appeals to gathering supporting documentation. You'll receive regular updates throughout the process, and we'll prepare you for any hearings where your presence might be beneficial. The entire process typically takes 6-12 months, depending on whether we can resolve matters at the informal level or need to proceed to formal appeal.

Service Area

We serve all of Norfolk County and surrounding areas, with particular expertise in Hingham, Weymouth, Quincy, and the broader South Shore region. Our deep knowledge of local assessment practices and market conditions gives us a significant advantage when appealing assessments in these communities. We also handle select cases throughout eastern Massachusetts where the potential savings justify the scope of work involved.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property taxes are too high?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment significantly exceeds comparable sales, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal?
Formal appeals must be filed within 30 days of receiving your tax bill in most Massachusetts communities. However, informal reviews with assessors can often be requested year-round.
Will appealing my taxes trigger a reassessment that could increase my bill?
No, appeals are limited to the current assessment year and cannot result in increases. Assessors cannot raise your assessment in retaliation for filing an appeal.
How much can I expect to save on a successful appeal?
Savings vary widely, but our residential clients average $2,400 in annual tax reduction. Commercial properties often see much larger savings depending on the property type and assessment error.
Do I need to hire a professional or can I appeal myself?
You can file appeals yourself, but professional representation significantly improves success rates. We have the market data, valuation expertise, and procedural knowledge that individual property owners typically lack.
What information do you need to evaluate my case?
We need your recent tax bills, property deed, and any documentation of improvements or damages. We'll handle gathering comparable sales data and other supporting information.
How long do tax savings from successful appeals last?
Reductions typically continue until the next revaluation cycle, which occurs every 3-10 years depending on your community. Many clients see several years of savings from a single successful appeal.
What happens if we don't win the appeal?
Under our contingency arrangement, you owe nothing if we don't achieve a reduction. Your taxes remain at the current level, and you're no worse off than when we started.
