Lexington - This week, the Lexington Board of Selectmen set the tax rates for fiscal 2010, and the pinch on property owners' wallets in Lexington will be a little bit tighter as a result.

Under the new rates, commercial property owners will pay $26.23 per $1,000 of valuation, while residential property owners will pay $13.87.

Those figures represent a 5.4 percent increase for residential property owners.
