Tax Rise Draws Fire In Attleboro
Protests mounted over a private revaluation in Attleboro as homeowners faced estimated real estate tax bills up to double. Valuation jumped from 56.9 million to 124 million, suggesting a tax rate around 38 per thousand instead of 83 to 84, with city officials noting a 13 percent rise would occur even without revaluation due to a 400 thousand dollar local tax increase.
