"Over time, property taxes have inched up, but I think it's really about how the counties and the state manage their financials," said Ellen Steinfeld, senior executive vice president of consumer lending and payments at Berkshire Bank.
"If you average these tax rates, the effective property tax rate across Massachusetts is 1.14 percent on every assessed dollar - making Massachusetts the 18th highest of any US state and the District of Columbia."
"Rates can vary significantly within the state itself. Almost one-third of Massachusetts municipalities have split property tax rates between commercial and residential dwellings, according to the Pioneer Institute of Public Policy Research."
