How to Read This Data

General Tax Rate (3.346%): The tax per $100 of assessed value. Multiply your home's assessed value by this rate to estimate taxes.

Effective Tax Rate (2.548%): A standardized comparison metric. Use this to compare tax burden across different towns—lower is generally better.

Avg Assessment: The average assessed value. Your property's assessment may be higher or lower—check the tax assessor's office for your specific address.

Quick Estimate Formula:

(Your Assessed Value ÷ 100) × 3.346 = Annual Tax

Example: $300,000 = ($300,000 ÷ 100) × 3.346 = $10,038/year
