Clarksburg Average Tax Bill Up 4%

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
CLARKSBURG, Mass. — The owner of an average home will see their tax bill rise by about $132, or about 4.16 percent.
 
The Select Board on Monday approved a single tax rate, which means property owners will see a rate $12.29 per $1,000 valuation.
 
Assessor Romana Messer walked the board through the town's valuations and her recommendations to stick to a single tax rate. 
 
"Taking our necessary budget, and from it, we deduct all other revenue streams, so excise tax, fees, fines, state aid, and then the number that we're left with, we know that that's the number that we need to raise through taxation," she said. 
 
For fiscal 2026, that number is $2.4 million; the town's total taxable value is $194,590,301, up some $27 million, resulting in a tax rate of $12.29.
 
"While that seems low, the values raised up over 16 percent so overall, the town is still bringing in $123,000 more than it did last year, even with this lower tax rate, because the values went up so much so," she said.
