The state Department of Revenue Administration released 2012 tax rates earlier this month. Nashua's tax rate is set at $21.49, up 2.38 percent, over last year's rate of $20.97.
That means if your home is assessed at $250,000, your property tax will increase by about $130, according to the city's Chief Assessor, Angelo Marino.
He explained that the DRA sets the tax rate based on all revenue sources submitted by the city.
