AI Summary
This bill authorizes the town of Mendon to establish a means-tested senior citizen property tax exemption. The exemption would apply to residential property owned and occupied by seniors who meet certain income and asset requirements, including having an annual income that would make them eligible for the state's "circuit breaker" tax credit and having owned a home in Mendon for at least 10 years. The Select Board would annually set the exemption amount, which must be between 50% and 200% of the circuit breaker credit amount. The total exemption amount would be allocated proportionally across all residential taxpayers. The exemption would expire after 3 years unless reauthorized by the town's legislative body.
