Boston's FY2026 residential rate is $12.40 per $1,000, up 15.4% in three years, and the residential exemption — worth up to $4,353.74 — is available only to owner-occupants.
An investor bids against owner-occupiers who carry a permanently lower bill on the same house. That gap belongs in the offer price, not in a footnote.
