Here in the Gay State we have a state-wide sales tax rate of 5%.Cities/towns/counties don't have the option to set any kind of supplemental rate.Our state income tax rate is just over 5%.Cities/towns/counties don't have the option of levying their own supplemental income tax.Property tax levels are comparatively low (we have a Prop 13-type law in force) when compared to other states/areas.For example...a particular house in suburban Boston might have a yearly tax bill of $5,000 while a nearly identical house in a nearly identical area of Westchester County,NY (where the Former Twelfth Lady "lives") would have a yearly tax bill of $10,000-$12,000 a year.
