Taxes are due May 1st! Templeton's Tax Rate 2019 - $ 17.24

The 100 Massachusetts towns with the highest property tax rates

  1. It is interesting to look at the statewide and countywide property tax to assess the plight of being a taxpayer in Templeton.

    The median property tax in Massachusetts is $3,511.00 per year for a home worth the median value of $338,500.00. Communities in Massachusetts collect an average of 1.04% of a property's assesed fair market value as property tax per year.

    If you own a "median value" home in Templeton, valuation of $338,500, your tax bill is $5835. The state median tax bill is $3511. Templeton taxpayers have higher taxes than the median taxpayer for the entire state. The difference is greater when compared to our county of Worcester, where the median tax bill is $3117.

    The rankings in this list are misleading, because a wealthy town with very high propert values will have a low tax rate if managed properly. The state median is 1.04% of value. In Templeton, we are paying 1.724% of value. We pay a higher percentage of our property valuation. You can compare your own tax bill to the state median and the Worcester County median by looking here:
