Attorney challenges 769 Watertown Rd revaluation, cites permits and lack of work
Summary
Attorney George G. Mowad told the board the revaluation increase for 769 Watertown Rd is unexplained and that no substantial work justifies a roughly $224,000 rise; commissioners noted building permits showing an attached two‑car garage and asked for an appraisal to support any challenge to the assessor’s figure.
Attorney George G. Mowad appeared for Vincent A. Porzio II to contest a large increase in the assessed value of 769 Watertown Rd. Mowad said the increase of about $224,000 did not reflect substantial work on the parcel and that his client had not had sufficient opportunity to compare average increases town‑wide. Commissioners pointed to building permits that list an attached two‑car garage and an estimated permit cost; they said a formal appraisal would be required to overturn the assessor’s figure.
