Hi Everyone...here's a question. We are moving to MA in a few weeks. We've bought a home in Franklin, and we've noticed that the tax assessment on our closing documents is higher than we'd been told. I've done a few searches on the internet, but haven't been successful in locating the information I need. I am trying to find the tax appraisal district website, where I can enter an address or property owner, and see the current tax records for any particular property. Do you guys have such a thing? If so, please advise me on what to search for. Perhaps this office is called something different in good old MA? thanks, guys....lorilou PS: forgive me if I am rambling...i hope you understand the question!
In Massachusetts and the rest of New England, tax assessment is on the town level.
I googled the town's website, then visited the assessor's page, where I found the following link. It should hopefully answer your question.
Good luck with your new home! http://franklin.patriotproperties.co...sp?br=exp&vr=6
Evaluation of your house is done by the town under some kind of state guideline. It is often done every 2-3 years. If you do not like the evaluation, you can make an appointment with the assessor to understand how it was done or if there is a mistake.
Pretty soon I have to take out a home equity loan just to pay for the property tax.
