Statewide schedule — read this before you rely on it
Municipalities choose annual billing (December 1), semiannual billing (July 1 and December 1) or quarterly billing (July 1, October 1, January 2 and March 31), so coupon dates genuinely differ by town. Variation between counties here is high — treat the dates above as a starting point only.
Unpaid tax bears interest at 8% per annum from the delinquency date, and the town may place a tax lien on the property.
The collector must mail bills within 30 days of receiving the tax list, so most bills arrive in the fall ahead of the December 1 due date.

$
Effective rate 1.09% = this county's median owner-occupied tax bill ($4,707, ACS 2022 5-year estimate) divided by the typical home value at the time ($429,923, Zillow, 2022-12-31). Exemptions the seller holds — homestead, senior, veteran — usually do not transfer with the deed, so a new purchase can run above this figure. The county assessor sets the assessed value; this is an estimate, not a quote.
