Bill Summary

For legislation relative to tax abatements for deaf residents. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the Massachusetts General Laws to provide tax abatements for deaf residents of the Commonwealth. Specifically, it would allow cities and towns to provide either a $5,000 reduction in the taxable valuation of real property or a $437.50 reduction in actual taxes due, whichever results in a greater abatement, for deaf residents occupying their domicile. Alternatively, cities and towns could choose to provide a $500 reduction in actual taxes due for deaf residents. The bill specifies that these abatements would only apply to property owned by the deaf resident and not conveyed to them to evade taxation.
