An Act to prevent property tax bill shocks

Summary

The bill lets Massachusetts cities and towns give a "tax shock prevention credit" to owners of certain residential properties when the town’s property‑tax levy growth exceeds 10 %. Eligible properties include those owned by seniors, MassHealth participants, unemployed households, young families, or homes in high‑need neighborhoods. The credit reduces the actual tax bill, capping the credit at a set percentage of the increase over the preliminary bill.
