Litigation & Commercial Real Estate Transactions Sections Webinar on August 21st

Are Boston Assessors Penalizing Property Owners?

Please join REBA's Litigation and Commercial Real Estate Transactions Sections for a webinar at 12 noon on Thursday, August 21st. Hon. Frank J. Bailey (ret.), President of Pioneer New England Legal Foundation, and Daniel Swift, Principal at Ryan, LLC, will present.

Last June, Pioneer New England Legal Foundation’s president, retired judge Frank Bailey, alleged that “the City of Boston’s Tax Assessment Department has been engaging in the unauthorized and unconstitutional practice of increasing the assessed property value on those properties which had applied for tax abatements.” The claim, denied by the City and the DOR, was based on a detailed review of assessors’ cards from properties whose owners had sought abatements included a plug number to offset any reduction in a property’s assessed value.

Join this webinar, and hear from Judge Bailey and Dan Swift about what the evidence shows and how property owners can protect themselves.

This webinar, open to all REBA members, is from 12 to 1 pm on Thursday, August 21, 2025.

To register, RSVP to Matt Zarrella at zarrella@reba.net.
