Municipal Tax Title

Municipal Tax Title

Brown Legal Attorneys bring over 20 years of expertise representing cities and towns across the Commonwealth in recovering unpaid property tax debt through the tax title process. 

Brown Legal attorneys have worked collaboratively with municipal clients to not only recover millions of dollars in overdue tax debt, but to also eliminate blight in neighborhoods and transition properties to positive redevelopment.

Unique Approach

Brown Legal also brings compassion to this work, understanding that there are personal, medical, and other complicating factors associated with the circumstances resulting in some properties in tax title collection. Brown Legal works with municipalities to collect the outstanding tax debt and bring properties back on active tax rolls while also helping families and property owners preserve equity in their homes for themselves and their futures. 

Expertise

Brown Legal attorneys are leaders in the Commonwealth in municipal tax title collection and litigation. Peter Brown, Brown Legal Founder, has been called upon by The Massachusetts Land Court to participate in trainings and to have his materials utilized as a guide for other tax title practitioners. Additionally, Peter and the Brown Legal team have successfully defended the constitutionality of the more than century-old statutory process before The Land Court, the Appeals Court and the Supreme Judicial Court.

Brown Legal is the municipality’s expert and compassionate partner in tax title collection.
