This calculator projects the estimated impact of adopting a Residential Exemption. The Residential Exemption is a local option authorized by M.G.L. Ch. 59, s.5C, which allows a community to shift a portion of the tax burden away from certain lower valued residential properties to higher valued homes, most apartment buildings, and homes that are not owner-occupied. Click here toview DLS’s Residential Exemption videofor more information. How to use the calculator: Select a community, then enter the proposed exemption percentage as a decimal (for example, enter 0.35 for 35%.) The highest percent allowed by law is 35%. Enter the estimated percent owner-occupied for the five residential property types in the grid.
