Bill Summary

Relative to property tax relief for persons seventy-five years or older. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill aims to provide property tax relief for individuals aged 75 or older in Massachusetts. It allows local assessors to establish a process that limits the real estate property taxes of these senior residents to the amount levied in the year they turned 75 or the year this law takes effect, whichever is later. The property must be owned and occupied by the senior, and the assessors must determine that it has not been transferred to the senior to evade taxation.
