An Act supporting residents and communities in resolving tax
This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow residents and communities to pay up to 25 percent of the amount needed to redeem property from tax title, rather than requiring the full 25 percent minimum payment. The change applies specifically to Section 62A of Chapter 60, which governs tax redemption processes. By modifying the language to say "up to" instead of a fixed requirement, the legislation provides flexibility for those seeking to resolve tax delinquencies on their parcels.
