Bill > S1901

This bill aims to reduce senior citizen property taxes in Massachusetts. The key provisions are: 1) It amends the existing state law to allow cities and towns to reduce the real property tax obligations of persons over the age of 60 in exchange for volunteer services, up to 175 hours per year at minimum wage. This tax reduction is in addition to any other exemptions or abatements the senior citizen may be entitled to. 2) It allows cities and towns to adjust the exemption by allowing an approved representative to provide the volunteer services on behalf of seniors who are physically unable to do so themselves.
