Rowe assessments by the numbers
How Rowe assesses residential property, from 2026 records.
Informational statistics from public assessment and sales records, after setting aside nominal family/trust transfers and statistical outliers. Not an appraisal, a determination of market value, or a promise of any tax change. Figures reflect the latest data snapshot and may be out of date.
Reviewing your Rowe assessment
In Massachusetts, your property tax bill is your assessed value multiplied by your town’s tax rate. In Rowe, the median residential assessment of $284,600 at the FY2026 rate of $5.24 per $1,000 works out to roughly $1,490 a year — so an assessment even 10% above where it should be is real money, every year it stands. Our comparison data for Rowe draws on 4 qualified arm’s-length sales from 2024–2025, where homes sold at a median assessment-to-sale ratio of 0.94. Assessors are required to assess at fair cash value as of January 1 each year; if your assessment jumped, your record card looks inaccurate, or comparable homes nearby are assessed lower, it can be worth a closer look before the filing window closes.
