AI Summary

This bill amends Section 38 of Chapter 59 of the General Laws to require assessors to consider any recorded restrictions on the use of a property when determining its fair cash valuation for tax purposes. The bill also classifies real property subject to taxation into four categories: residential, open, commercial, and industrial. The assessors will then apply the appropriate tax rate to the taxable valuation of each property class to determine the tax due.
