Bill > H3257

This bill proposes to provide a $1,000 real estate tax abatement (reduction) for parents who have minor children enrolled in private schools, with some specific conditions. To qualify, the parent must own and occupy the property as their primary residence, and must annually provide proof of their child's enrollment in a private school to local assessors. The tax relief applies to each child enrolled in a private school, meaning a parent with multiple children in private schools could potentially receive a larger total tax abatement. This legislation amends Chapter 59 of the Massachusetts General Laws, specifically adding a new provision to Section 5 that allows for this targeted tax relief. The bill aims to provide financial support to families who choose private education by reducing their property tax burden, potentially making private schooling more affordable for parents.
