For legislation to repeal the property tax exemption for Massport lessees. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill repeals the property tax exemption for Massport (Massachusetts Port Authority) lessees. Massport is a state agency that operates airports, seaports, and other transportation facilities in Massachusetts. Previously, real property leased by Massport was exempt from property taxes. This bill removes that exemption, requiring Massport lessees to pay property taxes on the leased real estate, though the taxes cannot become a lien on the property itself. The bill also authorizes Massport to enter into agreements with the Boston Redevelopment Authority to make annual payments in lieu of taxes for Massport-owned property, with the mayor's approval.
