Most assessing jurisdictions in New Hampshire and Massachusetts are in the process of sending out their fiscal year 2009 property
tax bills.
A taxpayer can file an Application for Abatement with the assessor. As a practical matter it is at this level that the taxpayer
has the best opportunity to show that the property is over assessed.
After the assessor denies the Application the taxpayer must appeal to the next level. At that point the chances of obtaining
a just assessment diminish precipitously. At an appeal level the burden of proof is on the taxpayer.
