Rate effective 4/11/2011: $18.53/$1,000 of assessed value apportioned as follows:
    local and school      $5.02
    state school tax      $2.21
    county tax              $4.01
    municipal tax          $7.29
Taxes are collected in July and December

Example: Property assessed at $150,000 would result in a $2779.50 tax bill, with half due in July and the remaining half due in December.

The town conducts budget  hearings at the beginning of each year (prior to the  town meeting), which are open to the public. They are an excellent way for you to provide input, as the result of these hearings will affect property taxes.
