Questions

What is the Watchdog Score?

The Watchdog Score, powered by the ROBUST Framework, rates a property's tax position from 0 to 100 using six kinds of public evidence. Higher is better. This property scores 71 (Favorable tax position).

Can the assessment be appealed?

Yes. Appeals go to the Essex County Board of Taxation. In most towns the deadline is April 1 (May 1 after a town-wide revaluation), or 45 days after assessment notices are mailed if that is later.

Does Watchdog show who owns this property?

No. Watchdog does not show owner names or mailing addresses. Everything on this page comes from public tax and parcel records.
