Bill Summary

For legislation relative to preservation of historic agricultural structures. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill aims to preserve historic agricultural structures in Massachusetts. It allows cities and towns to establish a special assessment policy for the substantial rehabilitation of historic agricultural structures listed in the state register of historic places. Under this policy, any increase in the assessed value of the property resulting from such rehabilitation would be phased in over a five-year period, rather than being immediately applied. To be eligible for this phased-in assessment, the rehabilitation must meet the standards set by the Massachusetts Historical Commission, which will also be responsible for promulgating the applicable rules and regulations.
