For legislation to streamline housing permitting. Housing.
AI Summary
This bill aims to streamline housing permitting in Massachusetts. It creates a new designation called a "Housing Priority Zone" that allows for higher-density residential development, with at least 40% of the units being affordable housing. Developments in these zones will be credited at a higher rate for the purpose of meeting the state's affordable housing requirements. The bill also requires affordable housing residents to report their income every three years to ensure they still meet income limits, and it provides for prorated real estate taxes on newly occupied properties within these priority zones.
