Holyoke City Council sets property tax rates; commercial rate exceeds $40 mark
Updated Dec 19, 2020;
HOLYOKE Property taxes will go up in 2021, with homeowners paying $19.28 per $1,000 in assessed valuation and businesses paying $40.65 per $1,000.
The new commercial rate likely will produce groans in Holyoke’s business community, which feared breaking the $40 mark. Holyoke has the highest commercial tax rate in Massachusetts.
The City Council set the rates during an online session Friday night.
The new resident rate is a 1.0% increase from 2020′s rate of $19.08. It reflects in part the assessed value of the average single-family home in Holyoke jumping from $197,000 to $207,000. The average residential tax bill in 2021 will be around $3,990.

HOLYOKE State Rep.-elect Patricia Duffy has hired Ward 6 City Councilor Juan C. Anderson-Burgos as her legislative aide.
Duffy said Anderson-Burgos brings bilingual skills to the position, offering the office a critical link to Holyoke’s Latino population. She defeated Ward 3 City Councilor David Bartley and Pat Beaudry in the September primary.
Duffy, who served on several city boards, ran unopposed in the November general election in the 5th Hampden District after defeating Pat Beaudry and Ward 3 City Councilor David Bartley in September’s Democratic primary. Duffy has worked as aide to outgoing state Rep. Aaron Vega for seven years.
