Tax rates are staying the same in Lunenburg.
The town recently approved its 2016-17 budget.
The residential rate remains at $1.31 per $100 of assessment for a second straight year and $3.27 for businesses for a third consecutive year.
Mayor Rachel Bailey says she hopes people see it as a positive.
“Other prices are always going up and so the expenses that the town incurs in doing the town’s business increases as well.”
