How do I dispute my Real Estate taxes if I think the property value is too high?
The appeal process for disputing your property tax bill is via the Abatement Procedure. The application is available at the Assessor's Office in Town Hall and must be filed after the mailing of the Third Quarter tax bill (December), but no later than the close of business on February 1st. No abatement can be granted unless the application is filed on time.

Filing an appeal does not put your tax payment on hold. Tax payments need to be rendered in a timely manner in order to protect further appeal rights to the State.

For further information contact the Assessor's Office at (781) 455-7507.
