allowing municipalities to vote to require that pie charts, bar charts, and QR codes be placed on property tax bills depicting where and how tax dollars are being allocated.
Refer to Interim Study, MA, VV; 04/16/2026; SJ 9
Summary
The bill directs towns and cities to place pie charts, bar/line charts and, if they choose, QR codes on the year‑end property tax bill. The visuals must break down tax categories and show ten‑year spending trends, while the QR code links to detailed online information or a physical location if no website exists. The goal is to give property owners clearer, more transparent insight into local tax allocations.
