An Act to prevent property tax bill shocks

Summary

The bill adds a new section to the Massachusetts General Laws that lets cities and towns give a credit toward the third or fourth quarter property tax bill for certain small residential properties. It targets seniors, MassHealth participants, households with recent unemployment, and homes in high‑need neighborhoods during years when the residential tax levy grows more than 10%. The goal is to soften sudden tax increases for vulnerable owners.
