The 1.47% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Worcester and is used to calculate your monthly tax escrow above. This rate may differ from the statewide Massachusetts average — county-level data produces more accurate monthly payment estimates for Worcester buyers. Many Worcester properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $150/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
