Bill Summary

Relating to the reduction of the amount of a limitation on the total amount of ad valorem taxes that may be imposed by a school district on the residence homestead of an individual who is elderly or disabled to reflect any reduction from the preceding tax year in the district's maximum compressed rate.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Tax Code and Education Code to provide a reduction in the amount of the limitation on ad valorem (property) taxes that a school district may impose on the residence homestead of an individual who is elderly or disabled. The reduction is based on any decrease in the school district's "maximum compressed rate," which is the maximum tax rate a district can impose for maintenance and operations. The bill also requires the Texas Education Agency to post information related to the reduction of the tax limitation on its website to assist local appraisal districts and school districts in calculating the appropriate tax amounts. Finally, the bill provides that these changes only apply to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2022, and are contingent on voter approval of a related constitutional amendment.
