Bill Summary
Relative to regulating homeowners associations. Housing.
AI Summary
This bill aims to regulate homeowners' associations (HOAs) in Massachusetts. It proposes two key changes: 1) Requiring the assessment and taxation of undevelopable parcels within a subdivision at the value of an unimproved, unbuildable lot, rather than at the same value as the surrounding buildable lots. This prevents HOAs from collecting taxes on land that cannot be developed. 2) Prohibiting HOAs from requiring homeowners whose properties are within the HOA's jurisdiction to be members of the association. This ensures that homeowners have the choice to participate in the HOA or not.
