Boston Real Estate News

Many communities in the Greater Boston area, including Boston, offer a special tax exemption to residents who own and occupy a property as their primary residence.  This exemption can result in a significant reduction in property taxes.

If you own a property as your primary residence in Boston, you should have received your residential tax exemption on your Fiscal 2012 3rd Quarter tax bill which was mailed on January 2, 2012.  If you don't see the exemption, you have until March 31, 2012 to file the necessary paperwork with the City of Boston's Assessors Office.

To check online to see if you are receiving the exemption, just go to www.cityofboston.gov/assessing/search and search for your property.  If you need additional information on the residential tax exemption, visit http://www.cityofboston.gov/assessing/exemptions/resexempt.asp
