NEW CHAPTER LAND DEADLINE

The New Deadline for Chapter 61 Applications
Historically, landowners were required to submit their applications to local assessors by October 1st to benefit from the reduced real estate taxes under the Massachusetts Chapter 61 programs. This year, however, the state has changed the deadline to December 1st to allow applicants more time to prepare. If you’ve previously applied for Chapter 61 status, it’s important to remember to renew it annually in order to remain eligible. Failure to do so could lead to a loss of this status. The renewal deadline has also been extended to December 1. If you have not received a renewal notice, please contact our office for your specific renewal form.
