Massachusetts S1759 amends tax title law to allow cities and towns to recover common expense fees from condominium owners.

Massachusetts S1759 amends Chapter 60 of the General Laws by adding Section 61B. This new section allows cities and towns to extend their lien on a condominium unit to recover any amounts they are required to pay to a condominium or homeowners’ association for common expense fees, special assessments, or other charges owed by the unit owner. These amounts become part of the terms of redemption, along with costs and interest. The bill ensures that cities and towns do not need to conduct further proceedings to perfect the lien for these amounts.
