An Act relative to the electronic filing of certain forms used in property valuation

This bill (HD 1244) requires property owners and lessees to file certain property valuation forms electronically with their local board of assessors, as specified by the board. It directly affects individuals and entities responsible for submitting forms under sections 5, 5C, 29, 38D, 38F, 59, or 61A of Chapter 59. The key provision mandates that filings must follow the board's prescribed electronic format and medium, and failure to comply without "reasonable cause" (like circumstances beyond their control) means the filing is not accepted. This replaces previous filing methods with an electronic requirement for specified property valuation documents.
