AI Summary

This bill establishes a tax incentive for small property improvements. It allows cities and towns in Massachusetts to adopt a policy where property owners with properties assessed at $500,000 or less can deduct any increase in their property tax liability due to improvements they make to their property. The deduction is phased out over a five-year period, with the full increase in assessed value being reflected in the property tax liability by the fifth year after the improvement is completed.
