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.

Your share of the 2022 budget

About $2,130 per resident a year, or $5.84 a day

Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Lakeville collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.
