As a reminder, Massachusetts created the Community Preservation Act (CPA) in 2000 with REALTOR® support as a tool to help communities fund local projects. When a municipality adopts the CPA, the revenue of a local property tax surcharge of up to three percent can be allocated toward open space, historic preservation, recreation, and affordable housing initiatives.
