The select board will hold a public hearing on Wednesday to set the tax rate for fiscal year 2025.

The history of hull’s property tax rates, 2007-2024.

In past years, the board has kept a single tax rate for residential and commercial properties in town, in line with the recommendation from the board of assessors.

Last year, Hull’s tax rate dropped by 4.3% from the prior year’s rate to $11.65 per $1,000 of assessed value. The average tax bill for a single-family home is currently $7,220.67, while the average tax bill for commercial properties is $8,475.38. Because nearly 96% of the properties in town are residential, and Hull has a small commercial base of 2.57%, maintaining the single tax rate means that most of the tax burden falls on residential property owners.

The hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 6 at town hall. The public will have an opportunity to offer opinions and ask questions during the session, after which the select board will make a decision about the tax rate for the current fiscal year.
