The proposed Home Rule Petition would ask the state legislature to let Belmont update income and non-residential asset limits used for senior tax relief. The group will first quantify the potential fiscal impact and consult the Town Administrator and Town Counsel. Members also discussed increasing senior property tax exemptions, a new means-tested exemption option, and investigating state reimbursements that have reportedly been frozen since 1979.
