AI Summary

This bill amends the definition of "Residence" in Chapter 62 of the General Laws. The key provisions are: (1) the definition of "Residence" now includes a mobile home owned or rented and occupied by the taxpayer as their primary dwelling, and (2) the land surrounding the residence is limited to not exceed the average value of a single-family home in the municipality as determined by the local assessor for the previous fiscal year. This change expands the definition of "Residence" to include mobile homes and clarifies the land area that can be considered part of the residence for tax purposes.
