About the Conway Property Market
Conway is a city located in Franklin County, Massachusetts. Every property inside the Conway city limits is assessed by the Franklin County assessor, which applies Massachusetts property tax rules uniformly across the county.
Because Conway property values are set at the county level, the same assessment rules apply to homes throughout the city. Homeowners who believe their Conway home is over-assessed have the right to file a abatement directly with Franklin County.
Under Massachusetts law, a abatement cannot increase your assessed value — it can only stay the same or go down. That makes a Conway abatement a low-risk way to push back against an over-assessment, especially for homeowners with strong comparable sales evidence.
Conway Property Market Context
Every Conway homeowner operates under Massachusetts property tax law, and understanding the state context is the first step toward a successful challenge.
Massachusetts market character
Massachusetts assessed values are based on prior-year sales and must reflect full and fair cash value. Prop 2 1/2 caps aggregate tax-levy increases, but individual assessments still fluctuate annually and can be wildly out of line with market value.
How Massachusetts handles abatements
Massachusetts uses an "abatement" process rather than appeal. File with the local Board of Assessors, then appeal to the state Appellate Tax Board if denied. Filing carries no risk of increase.
When to file in Conway
Abatement applications are due by February 1 of each year (or the deadline printed on your tax bill). This is one of the earliest deadlines in the country.
