PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION SERVICES

COMMERCIAL AND INVESTMENT REAL ESTATE ONLY

Assessing is not a precise or excact science.To compound matters errors and mistakes often occur in the local assessing process.

These errors and honest mistakes can, and often times do, result in over assessing or over valuation of property resulting  in higher than necessary property taxes

In the past we have had substantial success in the reduction of assessments for many clients such as:

                                 Tax   Reduction 

Client # 1.               $31,259.

Clinet # 2.               $25,210

Clinet # 3                $11,601

Clinet # 4.               $  5,412

However we caution anyone seeking a property tax reduction that entire process is highly time-consuming, very expensive and has no-guartanttes.

In Massachusetts there are only three reasons for an Abatement Application:

•   Overvaluation
•   Misclassification
•   Disproportionment
  

Always retain the municipal tax bill envelope The post office date stamp is important.

 You have only 30 days from receiving the undated tax bill to file for an abatment.
