- MassachusettsInfo
Massachusetts property tax is assessed and collected locally by each city or town, based on the full and fair cash value of the property as set by local assessors. Tax rates are determined locally from the levy each community needs, and total levy growth is capped by Proposition 2½ (about 2.5% a year). The state Department of Revenue's Division of Local Services oversees local assessing but does not set individual bills.

Levied locally in New York: local assessors set assessed values (final assessment rolls published in most towns July 1), and school districts and municipalities bill on that value — rates vary widely by locality. STAR and senior/veterans/disability exemptions can lower the bill; assessments can be contested (grievance, then small-claims review by July 31).
