SOUTHBOROUGH – The Southborough Select Board has voted to maintain a single tax rate for fiscal year 2026, but the rate itself is increasing.
At its November 4 meeting, the board set the new tax rate at $14.36 per $1,000 of assessed value, a 55-cent increase over last year.
According to the Community Advocate, the average single-family home in Southborough is projected to be valued at $991,000, resulting in an estimated average tax bill of $14,231.
Officials noted that while the town has seen significant residential development, it has not experienced the commercial growth that typically helps offset homeowners’ tax burdens.
