AI Summary
This bill authorizes the town of Mattapoisett to assess certain solar or wind systems as personal property for tax purposes. Specifically, the town can assess solar or wind systems that are capable of producing more than 25 kilowatts of AC power and generate more than 125% of the annual electricity needs of the real property on which they are located or contiguous/non-contiguous properties owned by the same owner. The bill also allows the town and the system owner to enter into a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement, which cannot exceed 20 years unless the agreement contains provisions justifying a longer term. The bill also requires the system owner to annually provide an affidavit to the town's assessors with information about the system.
