OmmLrlltVDreServatlO Published on Community Preservation Coalition (htt ff n -Ora) Home > Printer -friendly> Printer -friendly ----- CPA 'Trust Fund { M Cities and towns that adopt CPA obtain community preservation funds from two sources - a local property tax surcharge and a yearly distribution from the statewide CPA Trust Fund. How does the statewide CPA Trust fund work? Trust fund revenues are derived from a surcharge placed on all real estate transactions at the state's Registries of Deeds. The urcharge for most documents filed at the Registries is $20, which is immediately deposited the CPA Trust Fund held at the Department of Revenue (DOR). Municipal lien certificates are subject to a $10 surcharge. Depending upon how the real estate market is doing, the $20/$10 fees add up to anywhere between $24 million and $53 million per year. DOR tracks the receipts and posts a monthly report on these collections, and they use that data to provide an estimate of the annual trust fund distribution in March of each year. Every CPA community receives their distribution from the trust fund at a formula -based percentage of what they raised locally. Learn more about the formula used to distribute the statewide CPA Trust Fund. In recent years, as CPA was adopted by more communities and the real estate market declined, the base trust fund distribution decreased dramatically. To address this decline, Governor Patrick signed legislation to update CPA in 2012. The bill included a new revenue source to provide additional funding for the trust, over and above the revenue from the deeds recording fee. As a result, $25 million from the state's FYI budget surplus was added to the trust fund prior to the November 15, 2013 distribution, another $11.4 milion was added in 2014 and $10 million in 2015. No surplus funding was available in 2016, so the Coalition has been advocating for legislation to provide more stable funding for the future.

CPA also helps strengthen the state and local economies by expanding housing opportunities and construction jobs for the Commonwealth's workforce, and by supporting the tourism industry through preservation of the Commonwealth's historic and natural resources. Over a decade of work went into the creation of the CPA; it was ultimately signed into law by Governor Paul Cellucci and Lieutenant Governor Jane Swift on September 14, 2000. Read more about the CPA allows communities to create a local Community Preservation Fund for open space protection, historic preservation, affordable housing and outdoor recreation. Community preservation monies are raised locally through the imposition of a surcharge of not more than 3% of the tax levy against real property, and municipalities must adopt CPA by ballot referendum. To date, 172 municipalities in the state have adopted CPA. View a map of all CPA communities. The CPA statute also creates a statewide Community Preservation Trust Fund, administered by the Department of Revenue (DOR), which provides distributions each year to communities that have adopted CPA. These annual disbursements serve as an incentive for communities to pass CPA. Learn more about the distribution amounts received to date by CPA communities. Each CPA community creates a local Community Preservation Committee (CPC) upon adoption of the Act, and this five -to -nine member board makes recommendations on CPA projects to the community's legislative body. To explore CPA projects completed to date, visit our CPA Projects Database. Property taxes traditionally fund the day-to-day operating needs of safety, health, schools, roads, maintenance, and more. But until CPA was enacted, there was no steady funding source for preserving and improving a community's character and quality of life. The Community Preservation Act gives a community the funds needed to control its future.
