Williamstown FY25 Tax Bills Up Slightly, Tax Rate Falls Again

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The median property tax bill for fiscal year 2025 is expected to see its lowest year-to-year increase since 2019, the Select Board learned on Monday night.
 
Assessor Christopher Lamarre laid out the tax ramifications of the FY25 town budget at the board's annual tax classification hearing.
 
The tax levy, the total property tax collected by the town, is up just 1.3 percent from FY24. The levy is what the town needs to raise to cover the budget approved at the spring's annual town town meeting.
 
In FY24, the fiscal year that ended on June 30, the levy was $20.3 million; for FY25, that number is up to $20.6 million, the smallest year-to-year increase since 2021, when it rose by just .02 percent from the year before.
 
The last three fiscal years, the levy rose by 3.6 percent (FY22), 4.35 percent (FY23) and 4.11 percent (FY24).
 
The 1.3 percent increase for the fiscal year that began on July 1 will be generated largely from an increase in the town's property value.
 
The anticipated tax rate for town appropriations (which needs to be certified by the Department of Revenue) is $13.80 per $1,000 of assessed value, the fourth straight year the tax rate has gone down and a drop of $1.35 from the FY24 tax rate of $15.15/$1,000.
