Higher income cap for Wellesley tax deferral

The law lets Wellesley raise the income cap for its property tax deferral program. The Select Board must vote to adopt the higher cap. The cap can be above the usual state limit, but it cannot exceed the income limit the state Commissioner of Revenue sets for married filing jointly. That joint-filer limit applies to every applicant, no matter your marital status. The act takes effect upon passage.
