About Taxes on Property in Massachusetts

In Massachusetts, property real estate taxes are calculated by multiplying the value of the property by the real estate tax of the location. This is no different from many other New England states, like New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

The best school districts in Massachusetts have the greatest teachers in the state. We plan to list the middle and high schools with the best teachers, because we want our children to get the best education and to get admission to the best colleges and universities.

We plan to add a listing of the lowest property taxes in Massachusetts as well as a list of the towns in MA with the highest property tax rates. Unfortunately, this list always changes, so if we do fall behind in the list, please excuse us! We are trying our very best. Software is expensive, and developers can be sometimes be overtaxed.

We're always looking for new ideas on how to improve the reporting of average SAT scores in MA. If you have any ideas to offer, please contact us with your suggestions!
