Bill Summary
Relative to certain deadlines for taxes on recreational, agricultural and horticultural land. Revenue.
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapters 61A and 61B of the General Laws of Massachusetts. Specifically, it allows landowners to apply for their land to be valued, assessed, and taxed as actively devoted to agricultural, horticultural, or recreational uses even if the application is filed after the usual deadline, as long as it is filed by the last day to apply for a tax abatement on the newly revalued property. If the application is approved, any excess tax paid due to the late filing will be abated. This provides flexibility for landowners during years when a city or town has undertaken a property revaluation program.
