MassFiscal Statement on New Hampshire overtaking Massachusetts in property tax rankings F ollowing the Tax Foundation’s release of a report ranking states based on their local property tax burdens, the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance (MassFiscal) issued the following statement noting that for the fi rst time New Hampshire has overtaken Massachusetts in the rankings. “Conventional wisdom for many in Massachusetts has always been that New Hampshire’s lack of any income or sales tax created a situation where local property taxes were oppressively high compared to ours here in the Commonwealth. This latest report shows that’s no longer the case. Now Massachusetts residents can boast that they have a higher income tax, a higher sales tax, and higher property taxes,” noted MassFiscal Spokesperson/ Board Member Paul D. Craney. Massachusetts ranked #46 in the property tax rankings, while New Hampshire improved their score by four spots to come in at #43. As recent reports have begun to show signifi cant levels of outmigration of people and wealth from Massachusetts, the top destination for people leaving the state has consistently been New Hampshire and Florida. Florida ranks #12, according to the report. “The perception of New Hampshire’s property taxes being outrageous compared to ours has always been one of the few things counting against it as far as competitiveness.
