Our property tax services focus on achieving real results for property owners facing high assessments. We handle residential appeals for homeowners who've seen their taxes spike due to over-assessment or market changes. Our residential services include exemption applications, assessment reviews, and formal appeals to boards of assessors. For commercial clients, we provide sophisticated tax reduction strategies including income approach challenges, functional obsolescence arguments, and market condition analyses. We prepare detailed valuation studies that stand up to scrutiny at hearings and settlement conferences. Our legal background allows us to handle complex procedural issues and represent clients at all levels of the appeals process. We also offer assessment monitoring services to catch potential over-assessments before they become problems, helping clients stay ahead of rising tax burdens through proactive planning.

We start with a detailed consultation where we review your property tax history and current assessment. Attorney McFarland personally evaluates each case to determine the best strategy for achieving reductions. We explain Massachusetts appeal procedures and timeline expectations upfront. Once retained, we conduct thorough property research including comparable sales analysis and market studies. We prepare all appeal documentation and file with appropriate authorities within required deadlines. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of developments and handle all communications with assessors. If hearings are necessary, Attorney McFarland represents you personally, presenting your case professionally and persuasively.

We primarily serve Quincy and the South Shore region including Weymouth, Braintree, Milton, and Hull. Our practice extends to Norfolk County communities where we're familiar with local assessment practices and procedures. We also handle cases in Boston and surrounding areas when circumstances warrant. Our focus on this geographic region allows us to maintain detailed knowledge of local market conditions and assessor practices.
