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.
