Residential Exemption

The application for the Residential Exemption must be filed no later than April 1st of the fiscal year. If you recently purchased a Cambridge property and inherited a Residential Exemption from the previous owner, you must qualify as the new owner in order to continue to receive the exemption in the next fiscal year. Please complete the Residential Exemption form to apply.

The residential exemption uses January 1st for determining the ownership and occupancy requirements for the fiscal year.

• FY21-January 1, 2020

Please refer to the PDF application for additional information. Once the questionnaire is completed, with the requested documents, please remit to the Assessing department by no later than April 1 to determine if you qualify for the Residential Exemption.
