TAX BILLS & DEADLINES: A RESOURCE GUIDE FOR SOUTH COAST HOMEOWNERS

With the arrival of the New Year comes the arrival of property tax bills across the South Coast. For many homeowners from Plymouth to Newport, this prompts a common question: Does this assessed value actually match the current market reality?

At the Bernadette Kelly Group (BKG), we believe in empowering our clients with information . While we are real estate experts, we are not tax professionals. However, we know that part of managing your home as a significant asset is ensuring you are aware of your rights and deadlines regarding property taxes .

THE CLOCK IS TICKING: FEBRUARY 2, 2026

Time is of the essence. For most towns in our service area, the deadline to file an abatement application is February 2, 2026. This is typically a strict deadline; applications received late are usually denied automatically.
