Apply for the Homestead Exemption with your town assessor immediately after closing; Middlesex municipalities offer this exemption, which reduces assessed value. Contact the Middlesex County Assessor's office to request your property's assessment card, revaluation schedule, and the 45-day appeal window that begins after you receive a revaluation notice.
