Massachusetts Septic Tax Credit

When failing a Title 5, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts provides a tax credit of up to $6,000 over four years to defray the cost of septic repairs to a primary residence.

Forms are available from the Department of Revenue (DOR) to allow homeowners to claim up to $6,000 in tax credits for septic upgrades. The credit cannot exceed $1,500 in any year and may be spread out over four years. The tax credit will only be issued for work done on a primary residence and not an investment property or 2nd home. Tax Form Schedule SC is the correct form for the tax credits. You can get the form at the MassDOR Web site.

The Certificate of Compliance is available from the Board of Health. Contact us at 508-378-1612 to request a copy or email healthdepartment@eastbridgewaterma.gov.  We also suggest that you have your invoice for the repair.
