Bill Summary
Relative to the delivery of property tax bills. Revenue.
AI Summary
This bill modifies Section 57 of Chapter 59 of the Massachusetts General Laws regarding property tax bill delivery. Specifically, it requires local assessors to send property tax bills in a more comprehensive manner by mandating that they send a copy of the tax bill both to the physical address of the property being taxed and to the address of the property owner if that address is different from the property's address. This ensures that property owners receive their tax bills even if they live at a different location than the property being taxed, which can help prevent missed tax notifications and potential penalties for non-payment due to non-receipt of bills. The bill aims to improve communication and transparency in local property tax administration by providing multiple avenues for tax bill delivery.
