Bill Summary

Relative to payments in lieu of taxation by organizations exempt from the property tax. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 59 of the Massachusetts General Laws to require organizations exempt from property taxes that own total property valued at or above $15 million to make payments in lieu of taxation to the city or town where the property is located. The payments would be equal to 25% of the amount that would be paid if the property were not tax-exempt. The bill also allows cities and towns that accept this provision to adopt ordinances or bylaws to provide for agreements with these organizations, including exemptions from payment, consideration of community benefits as payment, and administration of the payments.
