What is the latest tax rate and what will my taxes be this year?

The tax rate changes each fall based on the total municipal and school budgets passed at the town meeting in the spring. For an estimate of total annual taxes, see the following:

Total Assessed Value / 1000 X tax rate.  

E.G: $500,000 / 1000 = 500 X $17.14 (rate per thousand) = $8,570.00 annual taxes.

In a revaluation year, it's important NOT to calculate a new assessed value using the prior year's tax rate.  Reassessments can have a significant impact on the tax rate, especially in a rapidly changing real estate market.
