Bill Summary
This bill provides temporary but immediate property tax relief to first time home buyers and senior citizens while a structural solution for relief from high property taxes is developed. Pursuant to the bill, a gross income tax credit is provided to eligible taxpayers in the amount of 25 percent of the taxpayer's property taxes each year from 2019 through 2021, up to $2,500. If the value of the credit is more than what the taxpayer owes for income taxes, the amount of credit left over will be paid to the taxpayer. To be eligible for the credit, a taxpayer must have bought the home in 2019, 2020, or 2021, or instead, be at least 65 years old.
