HB 3704

Abstract

Amends the Property Tax Code. In a Section concerning the alternative general homestead exemption, provides that the maximum amount of the exemption is $40,000 for taxable year 2008 and thereafter. Provides that the alternative general homestead exemption applies on a permanent basis.

Beginning with taxable year 2008 and thereafter, "adjusted homestead value" means a property's base homestead value increased by 7% for each taxable year after the base year through and including the current tax year for qualified taxpayers with a household income of $100,000 or less.
