CPA Calculator
Funding under the
Community Preservation Act depends upon several
variables, so it is impossible to make exact
predictions about how much communities will receive.
However, this section provides rough estimates for the
amount your community could obtain for affordable
housing, open space, and historic preservation.
Cities and towns that
adopt the CPA obtain community preservation funds by
two means - a local property tax surcharge and state
matching funds. Three major factors impact the amount
a community ultimately receives under the CPA:
- local property
valuation and levy rates
- local decisions
about CPA surcharge percentage and exemptions, and
- number and type of
other communities participating
For estimates of how
much your municipality can raise through the CPA, select the name of your community above.
