Tax Abatement Process - How-to Video

Many Belmontonians believe that their real estate taxes are “unfairly” high — that is, the assessed value of their property (land plus buildings) is too high — higher than the valuation of similar homes (comparables). This 19 minute video was recorded in 2022 and is narrated by William (Bill) Anderson, TMM, Precinct 2; member of the Warrant Committee; and CFRB Officer. Anderson leads us through his tax abatement story, from understanding the Belmont tax bill through the process of applying (and fighting!) for an abatement, and to consequently lower his tax bill.
