HD 3496: An Act relative to the small commercial tax exemption

This bill modifies tax exemption rules for small commercial properties in Massachusetts cities and towns.

The change directly affects small businesses seeking tax relief and local officials administering property tax exemptions. It does not define "eligible businesses" but sets a clear 50% occupancy requirement for exemption eligibility.
