The primary source of revenue for the local Community Preservation Fund is a property tax surcharge of up to three percent that will be assessed on each parcel of taxable real estate within the community. Amounts generated by the surcharge are not subject to the levy limitations of Proposition 2½. A second source of revenue for the fund will be annual distributions received from the state "Massachusetts Community Preservation Trust Fund," also created under the act. Monies distributed from the state trust fund will come primarily from surcharges on fees charged for recording various documents with the Registry of Deeds or Land Court. The local Community Preservation Fund is also credited with proceeds from the disposition of real property acquired with fund monies.
