What the rate means for a mortgage payment
Your yearly tax is the assessed value divided by 1,000, times the total rate. On most loans your servicer collects it each month in escrow, so the town's rate shows up directly in your mortgage payment. Assessments differ from town to town, so compare the tax on an actual home, not only the rate.
