REAL ESTATE TAX - WATER SURCHARGE

Water Infrastructure Surcharge

In accordance with Massachusetts General Law, chapter 40, section 39M, the Town of Lee has approved a Municipal Water Infrastructure Investment Fund at the November 8, 2016, Town election. Beginning in FY2018 a 1% water surcharge will be placed on your real estate tax bill. Said surcharge is due and payable when your real estate tax bills are due to the Town. Anyone who files and receives an Application for Statutory Exemption (senior over 70, surviving spouse, veteran, blind and senior work-off abatement), pursuant to Massachusetts General Law, chapter 59, section 5 & 5K, is exempt from the 1% water surcharge.
