Bill Summary
Authorizing the Town of Hopkinton to establish a means-tested senior citizen property tax exemption
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Town of Hopkinton to establish a means-tested senior citizen property tax exemption. The exemption would apply to residential properties owned and occupied by seniors 65 or older whose income meets the eligibility criteria for the state's "circuit breaker" property tax credit. The amount of the exemption would be set annually by the Board of Selectmen, within a range of 50-200% of the state's circuit breaker credit. The total exemption amount would be allocated proportionally across all residential taxpayers. The exemption would be subject to re-authorization by the town every three years.
