Massachusetts Recreational Land Tax Lien
What this document covers
The Recreational Land Tax Lien is a legal document used in Massachusetts to formalize the acceptance and approval of an owner's property valuation as agricultural or horticultural land by the Board of Assessors. This form serves to rectify ownership issues from a prior lien recorded in the Registry of Deeds. Unlike general property assessment forms, this specific lien addresses properties classified under General Laws Chapter 61A, designed for agricultural use, which promotes the preservation of land for recreational purposes.
