Weymouth Property Tax Overview
Weymouth Property Search
The Weymouth Online Property Viewer is the main tool for looking up property tax records in the town. You can search by address or owner name. The results page shows assessed value, lot size, building info, and tax data for each parcel. The viewer also has a map interface that lets you click on parcels to see their details. This tool is free and open to everyone. No login is needed. Data is current for the active fiscal year.
The screenshot below shows the Weymouth property viewer, where you can enter any address to pull up assessment and tax data.
The viewer updates throughout the year as the assessors office processes changes and new valuations.
For FY2026, Weymouth's residential tax rate is $10.12 per $1,000 of assessed value. The commercial rate is $15.85 per $1,000. The gap between residential and commercial rates in Weymouth is smaller than in many other Massachusetts cities, which means the tax burden is more evenly split. With about 21,000 properties, Weymouth is one of the larger towns in Norfolk County by parcel count. Under MGL c. 59, §38, all property must be assessed at full and fair cash value as of January 1 each year. The assessors office follows this standard when setting values.
The statewide MassGIS Interactive Property Map also covers Weymouth. This tool shows parcel boundaries, assessed values, and ownership data pulled from local records. It can be a useful backup if the town's viewer is down or if you want to compare data across towns.
Note: Assessed values reflect the market as of January 1 each year. If you bought recently, the sale price may not show until the next fiscal year.
Weymouth Assessors Office
The Weymouth Assessors Office is at 75 Middle Street in Weymouth Town Hall. You can reach them at (781) 682-3852. The office sets assessed values for all property in town and handles exemption applications, abatement requests, and general questions about assessments. Staff can explain how your value was determined and what comparable sales were used. Office hours are Monday through Friday during normal business hours.
The assessors office sends valuation notices ahead of each fiscal year. These notices tell you your new assessed value and give you a window to ask questions before tax bills go out. If you spot an error, such as wrong square footage or lot size, contact the office right away. Fixing data errors early can prevent problems later. The office also maintains property record cards for every parcel, which show the full history of assessments, improvements, and ownership changes.
Weymouth uses a classified tax system with split rates. Residential and commercial properties pay different rates. The town votes on this classification each year at a public meeting. The residential rate tends to be lower than the commercial rate, though the spread varies. This is standard practice in Massachusetts and is allowed under state law. The assessors office posts the approved rates on the town website each year after the vote.
Weymouth Tax Exemptions and Relief
Weymouth offers property tax exemptions for seniors, veterans, blind residents, and surviving spouses. Senior exemptions under Clause 41C can reduce your tax bill by $1,000 or more if you meet income and asset limits. Veteran exemptions range from $400 to a full waiver depending on disability rating. Blind property owners may get between $500 and $850 off their bill. All applications go to the assessors office. The deadline is April 1 each year. You must reapply annually for most exemptions.
The Massachusetts Senior Circuit Breaker Tax Credit is also available to Weymouth residents. This credit is worth up to $2,820 and is claimed on your state income tax return. It is for homeowners and renters aged 65 and older who meet income limits. Under MGL c. 59, §5, the state law lists all property tax exemptions and their rules. Each clause has specific eligibility criteria. The assessors office can help you figure out which exemptions you may qualify for.
Seniors in Weymouth may also qualify for the tax deferral program. This lets homeowners aged 60 or older defer all or part of their tax bill. The deferred amount is paid back when the property is sold. Interest accrues on the deferred balance, but at a lower rate than the standard 14% late payment penalty. This program is meant to help people on fixed incomes stay in their homes without falling behind on taxes.
Note: The Circuit Breaker credit is filed on your state tax return, not through the town assessors office. Keep your tax bills as documentation.
Paying Weymouth Property Taxes
Weymouth property taxes are due quarterly. The due dates are August 1, November 1, February 1, and May 1. Late payments are subject to 14% annual interest. The town offers online payments through johnybrady.com, which charges a 2.95% convenience fee for credit cards. E-check options may also be available at a lower fee. You can pay in person at Town Hall during business hours. Mailed payments should be sent to the Treasurer/Collector at 75 Middle Street, Weymouth, MA 02188.
If you believe your assessed value is too high, you can file for an abatement. The Form ABT is available from the assessors office or the town website. You must file within the deadline, which is typically within 30 days of the third-quarter bill being mailed. If the assessors deny your request, you can appeal to the Massachusetts Appellate Tax Board. Under MGL c. 59, §21C, known as Proposition 2 1/2, Weymouth's total tax levy cannot increase by more than 2.5% per year without a voter-approved override. This law protects taxpayers from sudden large increases in the overall tax burden.
Norfolk County Registry of Deeds
Deed records for Weymouth are held at the Norfolk County Registry of Deeds in Dedham. The registry records deeds, mortgages, liens, and other property documents. You can search online at norfolkdeeds.org. The system covers records going back many decades. Viewing documents online is free. Certified copies cost a fee paid at the registry. Deed records connect to property tax records because ownership changes at the registry flow through to the assessors office.
When a property sells, the new deed gets recorded at the registry. The assessors office then updates its records to reflect the new owner. If you are researching property history in Weymouth, checking both the assessors database and the registry gives a complete picture. The registry also records homestead declarations, which cost $35 to file and protect home equity from certain creditors.
