Bill overview
This bill proposes to create a pilot program in Massachusetts that would allow eligible seniors to defer paying their property taxes. The program would aim to provide financial relief to seniors with limited incomes, potentially preventing them from falling behind on their property tax obligations. It’s designed as a test to determine the feasibility and impact of a broader property tax deferral program for seniors. The bill is currently under consideration by the Revenue Committee.
Key provisions
- Establishes a pilot program for senior property tax deferral.
- Eligibility criteria would likely include income limitations.
- The program would involve deferring property tax payments.
- A study order (H5164) accompanies the bill to assess the program’s effectiveness.
