Vol. 11 | How to know about taxes

How will I know what the taxes are on the property I’m interested in?

Taxes for the current year are typically included in the property information on the platform you are using to find homes. Listing agents are well aware, or at least should be, of what the taxes are for the assessed year. Each town/city has different tax rates. There is a certain rate per $1,000 of the assessed value. For 2018, Cambridge is $6.29, Somerville is $11.32, Boston is $10.48, Arlington is $12.13…etc. These rates can usually be found on town websites.
