Yes, seniors in Massachusetts must pay property taxes, but the state offers various programs to help reduce, defer, or exempt payments for eligible senior homeowners.

– Being at least 65 years old
– Meeting income and asset limits, which vary by city or town
– Owning and living in the property as your primary residence

– Annual income limit (varies by town, but generally around $64,000)
– Taxes are deferred but accrue interest (rate determined by the municipality)

Circuit Breaker Tax Credit

The Massachusetts Circuit Breaker Tax Credit provides relief to seniors whose property taxes (or rent) exceed 10% of their income. In 2024, the maximum credit is $2,590. Eligibility requirements include: – Being 65 or older – Owning or renting a home in Massachusetts – Meeting annual income limits (e.g., under $64,000 for single filers, $96,000 for married couples)

Additional Local Tax Relief Programs

Many cities and towns in Massachusetts offer additional property tax abatements or work-off programs, where seniors can volunteer in exchange for tax reductions. While seniors in Massachusetts must pay property taxes, they may qualify for exemptions, deferrals, or tax credits to ease the burden. Understanding these programs can help seniors reduce housing costs and manage their expenses more effectively.
