An Act relative to certain tax exemptions for non-profit educational institutions
This bill limits property tax exemptions for non-profit educational institutions in Massachusetts to a maximum of ten residential parcels. Currently, these institutions can claim exemptions for various properties, but this legislation specifically caps the number of homes that qualify for this relief. The change affects private schools and other qualifying non-profit organizations by restricting how many individual residences they can exclude from taxation.
