Outgoing state senator Brian Joyce now faces property tax questions
State senator Brian Joyce is facing questions about the extensive renovations at his Milton home that are not reflected in his property tax bill, The Boston Globe reports.
Joyce’s upgraded home is being listed by his realtor for $1.725 million, but the Globe reports that the house is listed in tax records at half that price and that city records do not show the necessary permits for such renovations.
“I would be very concerned if any resident did not apply for the proper permits when doing renovations that would have an effect on the value of their property,” William Bennett, a member of Milton’s Board of Assessors, told the Globe. “But it’s even more disheartening if one of our elected officials ignored the town’s laws.”
Joyce, a Democratic state senator since 1998, has said he is not running for reelection after a series of media and federal investigations into alleged ethical issues.
