By Anne Marie Tobin ITEM STAFF LYNNFIELD — A penny saved may be a penny earned, but in the case of the av- erage Lynn eld taxpayer, that one penny in the form of a new residential tax clas- si cation will set you back about $200 in real estate taxes for scal year 2020. On May 20, the Board of Selectmen ap- proved an increase of one cent in the town’s residential real estate tax rate with a new rate of $13.92 per $1,000 of valuation. The commercial, industrial and personal property (CIP) rate increased from $17.95 per thousand of valuation in scal year 2019 to $18.86 in 2020. Both rates are subject to the approval of the Massachusetts Department of Reve- nue. “It’s about $200 and change on the aver- age house in town,” said Interim Assess- ing Manager Richard Simmons, who add- ed that the average single-family home value in Lynn eld is $650,500 in scal year 2020 and that the average tax bill ITEM PHOTO | OLIVIA FALCIGNO for scal year 2020 based on the average valuation will be $9,055.
