Bill Summary

Relative to ownership and occupancy deadlines for residential property exemptions in the city of Boston. Municipalities and Regional Government. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill proposes to change the ownership and occupancy deadlines for residential property exemptions in the city of Boston. Specifically, it allows for a later date of determination (July 1st instead of January 1st) for the residential property exemption if a taxpayer obtains their principal residence by recording a deed with the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds after January 1st but before July 1st of the applicable fiscal year. This change is intended to provide more flexibility for taxpayers in Boston who may acquire their primary residence after the usual January 1st deadline.
