Adams Taxpayers Will Rates Drop, Bills Increase

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — The tax bill for an average single-family home is expected to increase by $242 for fiscal 2025. 
 
The Board of Selectmen voted 3-1 Wednesday for split tax classification with a shift of 30 percent shift to the commercial side. Selectman Joseph Nowak voted against the split rate and Richard Blanchard was absent. 
 
This sets the residential tax rate for the coming year to $17.01 per $1,000 valuation, a 53 cent decrease. The debt for the Hoosac Valley High School is $1.02 of the rate.
 
The average single-family home is valued at $239,000, up $21,000 from last year. This would make the average bill $4,065.39.
 
The commercial, industrial and personal property rate will be $23.41 per $1,000 valuation, down from $24.23.
 
There is no "average" commercial business, but Assessor Paula Grover said she uses singular enterprise to demonstrate the figures. 
 
This business has gained $50,000 in value over last year, meaning a $508 increase on its tax bill.
