2017 Preliminary Rates, 2014-2016 actuals

Hello!  This is now an old page.  If you're looking for updated 2017 or 2018 rates, they are here!

These rates are re-posted from the Mass.gov websites.  In general, rural towns, without a lot of commercial development often have high tax rates.  But they also generally have low tax values (properties are cheaper), but not always!  Also, some towns have greater service levels (pick-up trash vs. collection areas, for example) and of course more money spent on teachers and schools will affect the tax rate.  Bottom line: Tax rates are important, but looking for value for your tax dollar will yield the most satisfaction.
