Bill Summary

Relative to senior property tax deferral (Senate, No. 2914) (being the text of Senate, No. 2901, printed as amended)

AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to existing Massachusetts law, specifically Chapter 59, Section 5, which deals with property tax exemptions and deferrals, particularly for seniors. The bill inserts language that extends certain deferral periods by one year after specific events, and it also reduces the number "ten" to "7" in one instance, likely referring to a duration or limit. Additionally, it allows cities and towns to vote to adopt a higher maximum amount of qualifying gross receipts for seniors to be eligible for certain property tax benefits, as long as this amount does not exceed the income threshold set by the commissioner of revenue for a different tax purpose.
