Property Tax Relief Options

 Property Tax Relief Programs

Personal Exemptions: 

You may be eligible to reduce all or a portion of the taxes assessed on your domicile if you meet the qualifications for one of the personal exemptions allowed under Massachusetts law. Qualifications vary, but generally relate to age, ownership, residency, disability, income or assets. 

Locally, these programs include a variety of statutory exemptions, as well as town-adopted programs for Circuit Breaker Match, Community Preservation Act (CPA) Surcharge Exemptions and Senior Tax Work-Off.  

We will post a summary of these programs for the next fiscal year as soon as it is available. Meanwhile, additional information may be available on the Town of Wayland web page for the Assessor’s Department, or call the Assessor's Department at (508) 358-3788. 

  • For information regarding the Wayland Council on Aging (COA) Property Tax Work-Off Program, please speak with COA Project Coordinator, Shawna Levine at  (508) 358-2990, or click here for more details.
  • For information regarding the Senior "Circuit Breaker" (CB) Tax Credit available as a refundable credit on a MA State Income Tax return, please visit the Circuit Breaker pages of the Mass. Department of Revenue website.

Note that the Town of Wayland offers a 'match' to the Massachusetts CB Tax Credit. Details regarding the Town of Wayland Circuit Breaker Match are described in the Assessor's Property Tax Relief Programs informational packet.
