Boston’s months-long effort to temporarily increase commercial property tax rates to prevent a tax spike for homeowners appears to officially be dead on Beacon Hill.

The controversial property-tax shift bill that has driven months of debate will not receive a vote in the Senate, the chamber’s top Democrat announced Monday night, hours after the bill had been derailed.

Boston’s proposal to shift the burden of its property taxes away from homeowners is effectively dead in the Legislature. Senate President Karen Spilka, D-Middlesex/Norfolk, said in a statement Monday night that she did not intend to bring the home rule petition back to the floor when the Senate reconvenes on Thursday.
