An Act relative to Grafton's senior tax exemption

This bill creates a property tax exemption for seniors in Grafton, Massachusetts, specifically for their primary residence. To qualify, applicants must be 65+ (or 60+ with one 65+ partner), have lived in Grafton for 10+ years, meet income limits tied to the state's circuit breaker tax credit, and pass an asset test. The town's select board sets the annual exemption amount (50-200% of the state circuit breaker credit), which applies only to the homeowner's primary residence. The exemption expires after 3 years unless renewed by Grafton's town meeting.
