Frequently Asked Questions About Massachusetts Property Taxes

What is the average property tax rate in Massachusetts?

Massachusetts has an effective property tax rate of approximately 1.14%, above the national average. Because Massachusetts also has high home values, median tax bills often exceed $5,000 per year.

How does property tax work in Massachusetts?

Massachusetts does not have county property taxes. All property taxes are levied by cities and towns. Each municipality sets its own tax rate and conducts assessments. Residential property is assessed at full and fair cash value.

Are there property tax exemptions in Massachusetts?

Yes. Massachusetts offers a residential exemption in some cities (including Boston) that exempts a portion of assessed value for owner-occupied homes. Additional exemptions are available for seniors, veterans, blind persons, and surviving spouses.

How do I appeal my Massachusetts property tax assessment?

File an abatement application with your local Board of Assessors by the deadline specified on your tax bill (typically February 1 or shortly after the bill is issued). Bring comparable sales data or an independent appraisal. If denied, appeal to the Appellate Tax Board.

What is Proposition 2½ in Massachusetts?

Proposition 2½ limits the total annual property tax levy in each municipality to 2.5% of the total assessed value of all taxable property. It also caps annual levy increases at 2.5% plus new growth. Voter approval is required to override these limits.
