Appeal Deadline: February 1, 2026 — Time Is Running Out
Think Your Property Tax Bill Is
Too High?
You're Probably Right.
Your 2026 bill is based on your home's value from January 1, 2025.
That number may be dead wrong.

"THIS IS RIDICULOUS!"
You just opened your 2026 property tax bill and it's hundreds — sometimes thousands — higher than last year.
You're staring at a new "assessed value" that feels completely disconnected from reality.
You're thinking: "There's no way my house is worth THIS much… right?"
Outdated Valuations
Your tax bill uses data from January 1, 2025 — but the market has shifted dramatically since then.
Assessment Inaccuracies
Massachusetts assessors often rely on 11-23 month old sales data, creating massive overvaluations.
No One Tells You
Most homeowners don't know they can appeal — or that they're overpaying by thousands every year.
Tight Deadlines
Miss the February 1 deadline and you'll overpay for the next 5 years until the next revaluation cycle.
You're not crazy. In most Massachusetts cities and towns right now, the assessor's number is based on data that is already 11–23 months old. That single fact alone creates massive inaccuracies, and you're the one paying for it every quarter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about property tax appeals
Is this the same as a Realtor's CMA?
No. This is a certified appraisal completed by a licensed, certified residential appraiser. Unlike a CMA, our appraisals are USPAP-compliant and IRS-defensible, meaning they hold up under scrutiny in court and with assessors. Realtors provide CMAs for free as a marketing tool — we provide expert opinions for legal and tax purposes.
How do I know if my home's assessed value is fair?
We'll tell you based on hard data. Our analysis compares your assessed value against actual market conditions as of January 1, 2025 (the date the assessor is legally required to use), recent comparable sales, and our proprietary research on assessment accuracy across all 351 Massachusetts municipalities.
What if I miss the February 1 deadline?
You'll be locked into your current assessment for another year — and in Massachusetts, cities revalue every 5 years depending on the municipality. That means you could overpay for years. The deadline is firm. We recommend starting your review in December to allow time for the full process.
How long does the process take?
The free AI assessment is instant (60 seconds). The $250 desktop analysis typically takes 3-5 business days. A full appraisal ($750+) takes 7-14 days depending on property complexity and our current workload. We recommend starting early to beat the deadline rush.
Is there any guarantee I'll save money?
We can't guarantee the assessor will lower your taxes — that decision is up to them. But we can guarantee that our appraisal will be accurate, defensible, and based on the correct valuation date. Our track record speaks for itself: clients saved between $2,000 and $9,600 last cycle.
What areas do you serve?
We specialize in Middlesex, Suffolk, and Norfolk counties in Eastern Massachusetts. We have extensive experience with the specific assessment practices and appeal processes in these jurisdictions.
Do you handle the appeal for me?
We provide the expert appraisal and can prepare your submission package. However, homeowners typically submit their own appeals to the assessor (we guide you through this). If your case goes to the Appellate Tax Board, we can refer you to experienced tax attorneys in our network who specialize in these hearings.
