(Greenfield, MA) Earlier this week, Greenfield City councilors started another discussion on splitting the property tax rate. The topic has been a part of councilor discussions in the past, but usually close to the time when the tax rate needs to be set in November. Currently, Greenfield homeowners and businesses property owners pay the same tax rate. Previous discussions have mentioned that business property owners should pay a higher rate. Currently over 100 city and towns in Massachusetts have a spilt tax rate.
