H 3125 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to privately owned public use airport real estate taxes

This bill clarifies that privately owned public use airports listed in the Statewide Airport System Plan are taxed only on land used for aviation operations (as defined in state law), excluding non-aviation areas like retail or parking. It amends tax law to specify that real estate taxes apply solely to the portion of airport property designated for aviation use, not to exclusively non-aviation parts. The change directly affects airport owners by defining their tax liability for specific property portions. This is a technical clarification of existing tax rules, not a new tax or policy change.
