Bill Summary

Relative to Community Preservation Act funding and the promotion of regional services. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill proposes several changes to the Community Preservation Act (CPA) funding and the promotion of regional services. It increases the deeds excise tax from $2 to $2.75 and changes the distribution of the collected taxes, with 15% going to the Massachusetts Community Preservation Trust Fund (excluding Barnstable County) and 16.5% of the taxes collected in Barnstable County going to the same fund. The remaining taxes will be transmitted to the General Fund. Additionally, the bill repeals section 79 of chapter 4 of the acts of 2003 and exempts deeds, instruments, or writings subject to taxation under chapter 64D from the CPA surcharge. Finally, the bill increases the recording fees for deeds and the entry of new certificates of title.
