Plymouth's FY2025 residential rate of $12.69 per $1,000 of assessed value (approximately 1.27% effective) runs modestly above Massachusetts's own statewide average (1.00%-1.17%), producing a median annual bill of approximately $6,618 on the town's median-value home.
Massachusetts's statewide income and sales tax apply
Plymouth residents pay Massachusetts's real flat 5% state income tax (with the additional 4% surtax above $1,107,750 of taxable income) and the state's uniform, single-rate 6.25% sales tax with no local add-on -- see the state hub record for the full statewide disclosure.
A real, disclosed fiscal-transition backdrop
Plymouth's own municipal finances carry a real, ongoing transition as Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station's PILOT tax revenue continues declining through the site's 2026-2027 decommissioning -- a real, disclosed factor in the town's broader fiscal picture, distinct from an individual homeowner's own tax bill.
Key takeaways
- Plymouth's effective property tax rate (~1.27%) runs modestly above Massachusetts's own statewide average.
- Massachusetts's flat 5% income tax and uniform 6.25% sales tax apply in Plymouth as statewide.
