SD 182 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to veteran property tax work-off

This bill increases the maximum annual property tax work-off amount for eligible veterans from $1,500 to $2,000. It directly affects Massachusetts veterans who qualify for the property tax work-off program under Chapter 59, Section 5N. The key change amends the existing law to raise the deductible amount from $1,500 to $2,000 per year. The bill does not create new eligibility rules but adjusts the financial limit for current participants. This change simplifies the tax benefit without altering the program's structure.
