What stands out about how New Plymouth is run
Read from the city’s budget and official records.

Typical yearly bill next door and statewide

Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
