AI Summary

This bill creates a senior tax relief program in the Town of Carver. It allows the town to reduce the property taxes due on qualifying residential properties by $500, subject to a cap of 0.5% of the total residential property tax levy. To qualify, the property must be owned by a person 65 years of age or older, or a veteran 62 years of age or older, and meet certain income and residency requirements. The exemption needs to be applied for annually, and the program will automatically expire after 3 years unless reaffirmed by a majority vote of the town. The bill also specifies that any improvements to the property during the exemption period will be taxed at the current rate, rather than the reduced rate.
