When you go for an abatement, you sit before the people who figured your rate out in the first place, they always think they are correct, unless a gross mistake was made. There is one more step in the process where you go to court to appeal the assessor's decision. I know people here in Mass. who have had success with that, haven't heard of anyone in NH doing that, but someone with a good case should, the towns don't like paying for it and it keeps the assessors from getting too big for their britches.
