Property Tax Work-off Program Participation by Towns

Thanks goes out to Donna Popkin (Billerica) for this survey and to towns that provided the information.

MCOA Property Tax Task Force

Message from the Property Tax Relief Task Force...

The attached draft of a warrant article for the work-off program increase to $1000 may be useful to you in approaching your selectmen/mayors, assessors, and perhaps town counsel for fall Town Meeting or else in the spring.
Written this way, it will be retroactive to July 2009 if you begin run the workoff program based on the fiscal year or else you may need to ask town counsel for a change, pending approval by your selectmen, etc.
