Weymouth's FY2026 residential rate is $10.12 per $1,000 assessed value (up from FY2025's $10.10), with commercial/industrial/personal property taxed separately at $15.85/1000. Combined with Weymouth's genuinely lower home values, this produces a substantially lower average dollar bill than Brookline's or Wellesley's.
Massachusetts's flat 5% income tax, plus the millionaires surtax
Massachusetts's real flat 5% state income tax applies statewide, with an additional 4% surtax on taxable income above $1,107,750 -- see this project's Massachusetts state hub record for the full disclosure.
A real, disclosed tidal-flood consideration
Special Flood Hazard Areas are delineated along much of the Fore River, including Weymouth's Idlewell neighborhood specifically, and the tidal Back River (flowing into Hingham Bay) is vulnerable to coastal storm surge -- buyers near either waterway should budget for real, additional flood-insurance costs and confirm current FEMA flood-zone status directly.
