An Act relative to private school land use
This bill requires out-of-state private schools or educational organizations owning property in Massachusetts to negotiate payments in lieu of property taxes (PILOT) with local land use authorities. It directly affects non-Massachusetts-based educational entities with physical property in the state. The key provision mandates these entities meet with local officials to establish PILOT agreements, overriding any existing laws that might exempt them from such negotiations. This creates a new requirement for out-of-state educational property owners to contribute financially to local communities where they operate. The bill does not set specific payment amounts or create new tax rates, only the process for negotiation.
