Boston Older Adult Property Tax Work-Off Program

About This Program

The Older Adult Property Tax Work-Off Program allows Boston homeowners aged 60 or older to earn up to $2,000 off their property tax bill by volunteering 133.5 hours for the City at $15/hour. Income limits apply: single filers up to $69,480 and married filers up to $79,440. The program is more generous than the Clause 41C exemption in terms of income limits and is ideal for active seniors who can volunteer.
