What is Brookline doing to assist senior citizens or residents on a fixed income?

The Assessor’s Office maintains a list of various programs people can use to defray or reduce their overall tax burden.

Additionally, earlier this year, the Legislature passed and the Governor signed a Brookline-specific tax law that can allow a potential exemption of up to 50% of a property tax bill on a qualifying senior citizen’s primary residence. The Assessor’s Office is in the process of drafting regulations to implement this law.
