Boxborough is second among Eastern Massachusetts cities and towns with the lowest property-tax increase in the last two years, and will move to number one next year, according to an analysis of average-single-family (ASF) property tax bills done by Acton Forum, based on data available on the state's Dept. of Revenue website.
