Bill Summary

For legislation to authorize the town of Wareham to assess certain solar or wind systems as personal property. Revenue. [Local approval received]

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the town of Wareham to assess certain solar or wind systems as personal property, rather than as real property. This means that the town can tax these systems as personal property, rather than as part of the real estate. The bill also allows the town and the owner of the solar or wind system to enter into a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement, and it requires the system owner to annually provide an affidavit with details about the system's type, capacity, and power generation. The bill does not require the town to renegotiate any existing payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreements that were entered into before the effective date of this act.
