Bill Summary

For legislation to authorize cities and towns to implement a system for the partial payment of property taxes and the charging of interest only on the unpaid balance. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill would authorize cities and towns in Massachusetts to implement a system for the partial payment of property taxes, where any interest charged would only be calculated on the remaining unpaid balance after the partial payment is made. The bill amends several sections of Chapter 59 of the General Laws to allow for this municipal tax partial payment program, and also updates Section 22 of Chapter 60 to explicitly permit property owners to make partial payments of their property taxes at any time prior to the tax being advertised for sale or certified under Section 61.
