New Property Software May Require Some Customers to Reregister their Accounts

The City of Cambridge is now utilizing a software called “Just Appraised” which pulls property information directly from the Massachusetts Registry of Deeds and imports it into the City’s internal system. This is beneficial because it greatly reduces the manual entry of data and increases consistency year to year. In addition, we have set certain parameters, to comply with the U.S. Post Office’s standards, such as replacing pound signs “#” with the word “unit”, and certain limits on the use of punctuation.

These updates may have caused a “conveyance” on your account which means that you will need to reregister your account and reenroll yourself in autopay if you had previously enrolled. Your previous account has been rendered inactive.

Please visit our website at www.cambridgema.gov/paybill. Search for your account using your parcel ID number, when the results populate, you will see a link in orange at the bottom of the screen which will allow you to register your account. For more information, please contact the Finance Department at 617-349-4220 or treasurer@cambridgema.gov.
