Time limits and yearly reports for housing tax districts
When a town approves an affordable housing tax district, it must set the start and end tax years. The program ends at the earlier of 30 years after the tax year the housing is placed in service (shown by a certificate of occupancy) or 35 years after the tax year the district was approved by the director. Each year, the municipal legislative body must report to the director on the district, or delegate that duty at the first designation to a municipal officer. The report must certify the public purpose is met, list any property sales, and confirm that rental units stayed affordable.
