Bill > S2338

This bill amends a provision of Massachusetts law to provide a proportionate increase in the amount of tax abatements for disabled veterans and Gold Star families (families who have lost a relative serving in the U.S. armed forces). Specifically, the bill requires assessors to calculate the increase in the applicant's property taxes from the prior year and add a proportionate amount to the existing tax exemption, which will be recalculated annually. This adjustment is intended to account for any rise in property taxes and ensure the exemption continues to provide meaningful relief to these groups.
