- Rank in Massachusetts
- 6 of 352
FY2027 rate is out: 3.640 per $1,000. Most Massachusetts cities and towns haven't had theirs certified yet, so this page and its rankings still use FY2026.
Ranks use the residential rate. Assessments are meant to track market value, so rates compare reasonably well, but a lower rate doesn't always mean a lower bill.
What this rate covers
- City or town services
- Public schools, including regional school assessments
- Fire, water or other districts in some towns bill separately and aren't included here
Massachusetts property tax is billed by the city or town. Many set a lower residential rate than their commercial rate; this page uses the residential rate.
