City Council - Regular Meeting

The Boston City Council’s Ways and Means Committee discussed docket #0697, an order to accept Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 59, Section 5, Clause 41D, which would authorize annual increases to senior exemption income and asset limits based on the consumer price index. The committee heard testimony from city officials and senior advocates, who largely supported the measure as a way to help seniors age in place and maintain eligibility for property tax exemptions.
