Your application paperwork
Massachusetts helps owners of one to four family homes pay to remove or cover lead paint. The Get the Lead Out program offers low cost and zero percent deferred loans to income-eligible owner-occupants, and the state also gives a deleading tax credit (up to 3,000 dollars for a Letter of Compliance, up to 1,000 dollars for Interim Control) claimed on Schedule LP with your state return. Federally funded local programs may also cover abatement costs.
Steps to apply
- Have a licensed lead inspector inspect your home to establish dangerous lead levels.
- Apply to the Get the Lead Out loan program (or a local deleading program) if you want financing, using the official deleading assistance page.
- Have a licensed deleader do the abatement work and obtain a Letter of Compliance or Interim Control.
- Claim the deleading tax credit on Schedule LP when you file your Massachusetts income tax return.
Documents you will likely need
- Proof you own and occupy the one to four family home.
- The licensed inspector's report and the Letter of Compliance or Interim Control after the work.
- Proof of household income (for the Get the Lead Out loan).
- Receipts and invoices for the deleading work (for the tax credit on Schedule LP).
Requirements vary by program and locality. Confirm the exact rules and application route with the administrator. We can help you prepare your paperwork, but you submit it yourself.
