Massachusetts property records are legal documents that contain information about a piece of property with or without buildings. Typically, these are called "deeds" and include the property owner's name and other information. After a real estate closing, a new deed is filed with the recorder of deeds in the county where the property is located.
Massachusetts property records pertain to buildings and land, and prospective buyers may want to consult Mass property records before purchasing to check for liens, tax problems, foreclosures, or other issues. Disputes about land ownership are typically processed through Land Court.
Massachusetts property records are recorded and stored within each county registry of deeds office. For counties that were disbanded in the late 1900s, you can find records with the Secretary of the Commonwealths.
You can search Massachusetts property records online by visiting the Massachusetts Land Records website. You can also use this resource to locate your own deed and determine which office recorded it. You may also visit the county records of deeds office in person or use InfoTracer’s powerful search engine to quickly and easily find Massachusetts property records.
Although initially, all Massachusetts registry of deeds offices were county-regulated, in the late 1900s, the Secretary of the Commonwealths took over, and now all records are overseen by that office. The Secretary of the Commonwealths also handles all Massachusetts unclaimed property.
Massachusetts property records are public records that contain a lot of information, such as:
Typically, when searching through property records in Mass, you can find the homeowners’ mailing address, the number of bedrooms, baths, amenities, mortgage details, foreclosures, construction disputes, and other specifics about the land or buildings.
Massachusetts property tax records refer to the amount the town or city charges the property owner for the land and buildings. The town assessor values the property and sets the property tax rate. Each year the owner is responsible for paying the taxes on the property.
Massachusetts has one of the highest property tax rates in the country ($15.25 for every $1,000 of property value), with an average cost of $6,372 per property, which equates to 1.524%. Property tax rates in Mass fluctuate based on the town and real estate values combined with inflation.
The towns with the highest tax rates are Longmeadow, where most properties are valued at around $380k, and the averages taxes are just under $10k. Weston, Lincoln, Sherborn, and Wellesley also have very high tax rates. Coincidently, Massachusetts towns around the Cape and surrounding areas have high property values but low tax rates because most are rental or vacation properties.
Towns with the lowest tax rates in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are Waltham, Lowell, Revere, Haverhill, and Peabody.
Massachusetts property records are a valuable source of data. Some of the top counties within the state where you can find property records and Massachusetts property tax information include:
