Real Estate Tax in Somerville

[bobobb.livejournal.com]

I just got a rather shocking update from my mortgage company regarding the real estate tax for my house in Somerville. The mortgage company pays the taxes out of escrow for me and it seems that in the past year those taxes have tripled, literally. Was there a housing tax this past year that I missed?

Update: Think it is the residential exemption...thanks for the heads up. Will call to get it worked out on Monday. Thanks for the help!

Maybe they mistakenly rescinded the residential exemption for your place? Or it's new and you didn't file for it? They're supposed to send a form to all properties that changed hands in the last year but they might have missed you -- I think this happened to us as well.
