Property and Real Estate Tax Rates for Massachusetts Towns

Real Estate Tax Rates for Massachusetts Towns

This post has been updated! To get updated rates, click here.

Towns have been sharpening their
pencils on tax rates.

Massachusetts towns tax a certain amount for each $1000 of Assessed property value. (Not Market Value! Read the difference here). So a home that is ASSESSED at $400,000 in a town that has a $15/thousand tax rate would pay $400,000/1000*15 = $6000 in Real Estate Taxes.

 Too fast? Here it is again:

• Assessed Value: $400,000
• Assessed Value in Thousands = 400,000/1000 = 400.
• Tax Rate PER Thousand: 15
• Tax Bill: 400*15 = 6000.

This information is available in PDF from from the state, Here
