I bought in 2009 for dirt cheap. I never thought I would own a house in MA as a single person. Now I can’t afford to rent here!

Thank you. Now that I re read your comment along with another person’s comment it’s making a little more sense. The town is north reading, btw.

The land, it seems to me, should be all the same. Not valued differently by size. A square foot is a square foot. The structure can vary because of many factors so I didn’t try to compare.

There is a house on it. The town breaks down our taxes by the lot value and the structure value for your total tax amount.

Right? Smaller lot equals the same tax as the large lot. North Reading. It’s pricing me out of being able to stay here when I retire.

No easement. It’s common across the whole neighborhood. I was trying to get apples to apples comparisons, so I did several throughout the neighborhood

That’s a good question. The overall assessment value of the property is certainly closer, but I don’t know just about the lot value. I’m not sure where I could find a comp

Right. Not that I need it because I got a satisfactory answer from someone. What I was looking for would have been the next step to take should I not have gotten satisfaction from the town and needed to go beyond that. Thanks for your reply
