High housing costs are the greatest threat to our competitiveness and years of residential property tax increases compound this threat. I’m fighting to protect residents and stabilize taxes. I just wrote to Boston's business community asking for their support of our residential tax relief plan. 🧵

Steve, Jim, Tamara, and Doug:
I write with an update on this year’s City of Boston property tax valuations, following last year’s good
faith effort to partner in delivering balanced, reasonable residential tax relief so that the businesses you
represent would benefit from excellent city services and greater stability for the Boston residents who are
your community, workforce, and customer base.
As you recall, in early 2024, the City projected significant increases to residential taxes as a result of
declining commercial values. We worked proactively to cushion this impact by proposing a
revenue-neutral, temporary measure that Boston had successfully implemented in the past with legislative
approval and business community support. Working together over weeks of negotiations, your
organizations agreed to a three-year compromise, stating that you were “proud that we worked with
Mayor Wu to reach a resolution that mitigates short-term property tax increases for residents while
avoiding significant new burdens on commercial properties.
” The legislation was passed twice by the
Boston City Council and the State House of Representatives, but ultimately did not receive a vote before
the State Senate after being procedurally blocked by a single Senator.
After that compromise was abandoned by your groups and the State Senate, Boston residents were left
facing a significant tax increase, while the commercial share of the tax burden has never been lower. Your
organizations suggested that the final property valuations were not as dire as the worst case scenarios
presented, although they landed squarely within the range of estimates presented throughout the process.
Your coalition had anchored the compromise to a shared goal of protecting residents from double-digit
annual tax increases, targeting a threshold of 9% increases. Yet after you withdrew support for our
compromise, the average single family homeowner had to bear a 10.4% increase (alt text limit reached)

the average single family homeowner. This is why we proposed a five-year residential tax relief measure
(compromising down to a three-year measure), anticipating that this multi-year transition would require
multi-year protection for residents.
With taxes for the average single family home projected to be up 34% from 2023 to 2026, Boston
residents are facing serious financial hardship. Meanwhile, the tax bill for the average Class A office
tower is projected to decrease by 4.4%, or $210,000. If the Legislature fails to act on our pending
home-rule petition, the share of the City’s tax levy paid by commercial property owners will fall to
53.9%, the lowest level since Proposition 2½ passed 45 years ago. Residents will shoulder an even greater
share of the tax levy, matching the predictions we made one year ago.
We are all doing our part to ensure fiscal responsibility in uncertain times. In April, our administration put
forward a constrained City budget that limited overall budget growth in FY26 to 4.4% (and just 1.7%
growth for City departments), with reductions equivalent to 500 positions. As we prepare for another
fiscal year with significant economic uncertainty, the City will continue to limit and further reduce
expenditures in the upcoming budget cycle.
The high cost of housing is the greatest threat to our regional and statewide competitiveness in today’s
economy, and years of significant residential property tax increases compound this threat. Our
administration has made historic progress on producing affordable housing units and boosting
homeownership, reduced commercial vacancies, converted underutilized office space to housing, and
invested our budget responsibly in city services and initiatives that have maintained our AAA bond rating
and helped Boston consistently rank highly on quality of life indexes. However, allowing continued
double-digit residential property tax increases threatens to weaken our economic prospects and our (alt text limit reached)
