2% Luxury Transfer Tax Meeting:
The Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates is meeting this Wednesday, February 18, 2026, at 4:00pm at the Barnstable County Courthouse Complex in Barnstable, MA to discuss (among other items) the Proposed Home Rule Petition 2026-01 to the Massachusetts Legislature Authorizing the Establishment of a Regional High Value Real Estate Transfer Fee, otherwise known as the 2% Luxury Transfer Tax. Here is the Agenda:
Public - ccrg-aod-business-calendar-2026-02-18.pdf - All Documents
In February 2025, legislation was introduced in the House (H.3056) as well as in the Senate (S.1937) titled An Act Enabling A Local Option For A Real Estate Transfer Fee To Fund Affordable Housing. This legislation would allow cities and town to impose a fee (TAX) on the transfer (sale) of real estate property to fund affordable housing for low-and moderate-income persons along with several other requirements. The legislation imposes a minimum threshold of $1,000,000 on the value of property. If this legislation is passed, individual cities and town can opt in to take part of the tax initiative with a portion of the funds going to those towns. Therefore, it is important that we reach out to our Select Boards, Council Members as well as Assembly Delegate Members to inform them of our opposition. If the Assembly of Delegates opt in and pass this measure, it will give the State Legislature much more credence to pass the tax increase. A 2% tax on the sale of a $1,000,000 is $20,000 that will be taken from you, the homeowners when you sell or transfer you home and would go to the state, county and or town to hire additional "Commission Members" (bureaucrats) to create and monitor affordable housing. Once passed by the Assembly of Delegates, the State Legislature can make any changes they wish including keeping a portion of the tax revenue for the state.
There are 15 elected Assembly of Delegate members where each member represents a town on the Cape. I find it incredible that Assembly of Delegate contact information (emails or phone numbers) is not provided on the Barnstable County Government website as these are elected officials and their contact information should be readily available to the residents of Cape Cod. However, I was able to obtain that contact information, except for Chatham and Mashpee where there were recent resignations.
A few days ago, I contacted the Clerk of the Assembly of Delegates, Owen Fletcher to ask him about the contact information for individual Delegate members but shockingly I have not heard from him yet, but I am sure he will get back to me, lol. You may remember Owen Fletcher, who opposed State Representative Steven Xiarhos at the last 2022 election and fortunately lost badly.

SRTC Question of the Day:
Do we really need a Barnstable County Government?
January 6th meeting of the Plymouth Select board. The discussion of I.C.E. begins at approx. 52 minutes into the video.
Election season is here but the policies on Beacon Hill never change for the
better. As many of you know recently there have been three primary
candidates who have decided to take on Maura Healey for the Governor's
race next year. Every election season UCP gathers together to
determine if there are any viable candidates that we can or should
consider supporting.
After meeting, listening and speaking with all three primary candidates we have concluded that Mike Minogue
will be the candidate we will support for the Governor's race.
We received a call recently from the Minogue campaign asking for our help
this election season. The goal of the campaign effort is to gain more
support for the candidate statewide. We accomplish this by dividing the
state into smaller more manageable districts.
We also accomplish this using many different efforts including recruiting
additional volunteers to help us with event planning efforts as well as
other tasks for the campaign.
Weekly and/or monthly zoom calls may be an option for future communication as a group.
The job description of a volunteer is as follows:
MUST BE:
Dependable
Reliable
Available
Competent
Self Starter
Responsive
Computer literate
Know how to use a modern cell phone
Able and willing to respond rapidly to campaign related emails and texts
Have active social Media accounts such Facebook or X.
These are some basic requirements to be a volunteer. Of course we realize
that we all have lives to attend to be it child care, work, family or
friends events to mix in with volunteering. On the job training is
NOT available. Please be ready to go from the beginning.
It is never expected of you to make volunteering a full time thing.
However, if you say you will be there, you need to be there. If you
say you will text, call or email, then you need to text, call or
email. If you commit to the job or event, you need to follow
through.
We are trying to fill Barnstable county, Nantucket and Marthas Vineyard, Plymouth county and parts of South Bristol county (
Fall River to Wareham ish ).
This is known to the campaign as District 5
If you feel that you meet the required criteria and would like to help
please contact Sharon and I at the numbers and emails below for further
information.
If you are unable to help but you know others who are willing to help please either send us their contact information
or ask them to contact us.
Thank you, Merry Christmas, Happy New year 2026 and Happy Hanukkah
