What are my tax dollars used for?
Property tax receipts are the primary source by which the town operates. Funds are used to finance public projects, and pay town salaries (such as School Teachers, Police and Fire personnel), among other operations of the town. If you would like to volunteer for a town board or committee, please contact the Board of Selectmen at 781-259-2600.
