Hudson runs its own schools, so school spending is part of its budget. Comparisons are with other Massachusetts towns.

Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 66%
  • From the state 19%
  • Fees & charges 6%
  • Utility sales 4%
  • From other local governments 2%
  • Interest, fines & other 1%
  • Sales taxes 1%
  • Other taxes & licenses 1%
  • From the federal government <1%

Revenue here is well above spending. That usually means Hudson collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted above.
