An Act to increase the income limit for Clause 41A, Senior Tax Deferral Program in Ipswich

This bill (HD 5449) would allow the town of Ipswich to raise the income limit for its Senior Tax Deferral Program. The program currently lets qualifying seniors defer property taxes, but this change would let more seniors with higher incomes qualify for the deferral. It directly affects Ipswich residents aged 65+ who earn above the current income threshold but would meet the new, higher limit. The bill seeks local approval to implement this change to the town's existing program rules.
