An Act allowing the town of Williamstown to expand financial eligibility for senior property tax exemption
HD 302 authorizes the Town of Williamstown to raise the income and asset limits for senior property tax exemptions beyond current state requirements. The town could adjust these limits up to the state's "circuit breaker" income tax credit threshold for married couples filing jointly (though eligibility would not depend on marital status). This change would directly expand access to property tax relief for more seniors in Williamstown who currently exceed the town's existing exemption limits. The bill provides local flexibility without altering state law, allowing Williamstown to tailor its senior tax relief program.
