    Gotta love that $17.41 in Hopedale. I'm so jealous of my parents in Dennis, their taxes are so cheap.

    They tout that they lowered our tax rate this year but jacked up all the assessments, $400+ more than last year.

    I just fixed it and updated the list.... good looking out. there is only a total of 345 on this list and Massachusetts has 294 towns and 57 cities which equals a total of 351 areas. I'm not quite sure the other six that we are missing

    A lot bit warmer please!

    Went through this with the electrical inspector on my pool. Said he "sees some things that need doing" to me..told my electrician one thing, he does it, comes back out and tells him something else..3 different things which were known right away. I swear it's like he thinks I ran over his dog or something..and of course good luck arguing with them.

    Jesus H Christ on roller skates. Hingham is lower taxes by far and that's a fortune to buy a house of any size versus East Bridgewater, I knew it would go up when we built a school a few years ago though

    I gotta ask. What the fuck are you doing there? Do you get a handy from the town hand jobber every morning to start the day? Like what the fuck are they offering you that you continue to live there.

    I've never been, so maybe its actually Heaven and they are keeping me out:oops:

    I was amazed that Shrewsbury and Quincy are that close.
    I rather raise a kid in Shrewsbury for sure.
    I wonder how the school's rate each other?
    @crashngiggles
    Can you find a list of school ratings for 351 to look at and compare?

    could pay for it with your tax savings! Well once hes out, I'd move to a cheaper place, but thats obviously a personal choice.

    Massachusetts has a rule that a town can't have a tax rate above $25. I think it's a great rule. There is also a 2-1/2% levy limit, so my town couldn't go above about $17 due to the value of properties in the town. $47.25 sounds like the town has a criminally mismanaged budget.

    I just googled ct tax rates, holy shit Batman. 47.25 isn’t high compared to some of the others.

    From google.
    The Torrington Lakeridge Tax District has the highest mill rate in Connecticut at 76.55 mills. It's followed by Hartford at 74.29, Waterbury at 60.21, Bridgeport at 53.99 and New Britain at 50.5. Salisbury has the lowest mill rate out of any town at 11.6. It's followed narrowly by Greenwich at 11.682.
