Wayland Patch 1/6/12: How Does Waylands FY12 Tax Rate Compare?. FY12 property tax rates are set, and action by Wayland residents at a November Special Town Meeting kept Wayland from having the highest residential tax rate in the state. Wayland’s FY12 tax rate of $19.01 per $1,000 of assessed property value places it tied with Greenfield at the number 11 position in the state. Sharon has the highest tax rate at $20.11, which is less than Wayland residents would have paid – $20.71 – under the original budget article passed at the 2011 Annual Town Meeting.
