Bill > S1277

This bill amends existing law to provide requirements for the homestead exemption application form. The key provisions include: 1. The application form for the homestead exemption must be created by the State Tax Commission and must collect all the information required under the law, without requesting any extraneous information. 2. The application form must be made available at the office of the State Tax Commission, each county assessor's office, and on the websites for each county assessor and the State Tax Commission. 3. The application form may be provided to a purchaser of residential property at the time of the closing of the sale, and the completed form may be provided to the county assessor at the time the deed is presented for recording. The purpose of these changes is to standardize the homestead exemption application process and ensure that the necessary information is collected without placing undue burden on applicants.
