Check an Address
What the Commonwealth's maps and the assessors' rolls say about one exact address.
Neither an inspection nor an appraisal: the state's maps answer for a point, and they tell you what to ask about next. Prefer to browse? Every town's checker is linked from its town page.
What the Check Reads, Live
- The parcel record: assessed value with its fiscal year, use, year built, living area, lot, and the last recorded sale with its Registry reference. Never an owner's name, this site doesn't publish them.
- Flood zone at the point, and where a town's flood map is undigitised, it says unmapped, which is not the same as safe.
- Mapped wetlands (their 100-foot buffers bind beyond the mapped edge), protected open space, rare-species habitat, and certified vernal pools nearby.
- The town record beside it: dams, the cleanup registry, water systems, the busiest counted roads.
