If you feel your real estate tax assessment is too high, you have the right to contest your assessment. To do so, you must file an application for an abatement in writing on an approved form with the Board of Assessors. You may apply for an abatement if you believe your property is valued at more than its fair cash value or it is not assessed fairly in comparison with other properties.
I would be happy to give you a comparison of properties similar to yours to support your claim. This is a FREE service I am pleased to offer to my friends & valued clients.
The deadline to file an abatement is Feb. 1, 2008. Call me at (508) 636-3310 or visit my website at www.WestportMAHomes.com for more information.
You also may be eligible for a TAX EXEMPTION (Reduced Taxes)
Exemptions are available if you meet the various requirements.
ELDERLY ( Over 70) , DISABLED VETERAN, BLIND, WIDOW OR WIDOWERS
