Massachusetts H3968 amends property tax exemption rules for seniors and persons with disabilities.

Massachusetts H3968 amends the property tax exemption rules for seniors and persons with disabilities. It ensures that once an exemption is granted, no further evidence of eligibility is required in subsequent years. However, the exemption can be revoked if it is discovered that the homeowner did not meet the eligibility criteria at the time the exemption was first granted. The bill also specifies that the exemption amount cannot exceed $200 and mandates that the state reimburses cities and towns for the taxes abated under this clause.
