Is it possible that the Boston Assessor’s office may be on track to consider reassessing Boston condos that may have lost value since the pandemic hit?

The assumption here is if residents are moving out of downtown Boston will condominiums see a reduction in value for 2021?

The Assessor’s office was very busy reassessing residential property during the financial crisis. Owners of condos in large buildings and high rises could now probably make a case for their values going down in 2021 as buyers have turned to single-family homes or smaller condo buildings with outdoor space.

If you are planning to buy a Beacon Hill condo in Massachusetts, property tax should be kept in mind to ensure you can afford the Boston condo of your dreams. Condos, like other types of property, require the owner to pay property tax.

Boston condo tax rate

There are two main factors needed to determine how much property tax you are going to pay. The first is the tax rate, a number formulated by counties and oftentimes regulated by the state. While tax rates are subject to change annually, they generally fluctuate only slightly, so you don’t have to worry about property tax payments skyrocketing overnight.

Boston condo market value

The second factor in determining amount of property tax due is the market value of your Beacon Hill condo. The market value of a condo identifies things such as the condo’s location, supply and demand of other properties in the area, internal characteristics such as the number of bedrooms and construction quality, and external characteristics like 24-hour security and shared outdoor space. Other condos recently sold with similar features, also referred to as comparable Boston real estate agents as the keyway of determining market value.

Boston real estate and the bottom line

Once you’ve found out the tax rate and property value, the two numbers will be multiplied to determine the annual property tax owed. While this number will not be significant, it is important to include in your costs for buying a condo in Downtown Boston so your budget correct.
