Bill Summary
Proposing a constitutional amendment to authorize the legislature to establish a temporary limit on the maximum appraised value of real property other than a residence homestead for ad valorem tax purposes; to increase the amount of the exemption from ad valorem taxation by a school district applicable to residence homesteads; to adjust the amount of the limitation on school district ad valorem taxes imposed on the residence homesteads of the elderly or disabled to reflect increases in certain exemption amounts; to except certain appropriations to pay for ad valorem tax relief from the constitutional limitation on the rate of growth of appropriations; and to authorize the legislature to provide for a four-year term of office for a member of the governing body of certain appraisal entities.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to allow the legislature to temporarily cap the maximum appraised value of real property, excluding primary residences (residence homesteads), for property tax (ad valorem tax) purposes, meaning these properties' assessed values for tax calculation would not increase by more than a certain percentage each year. It also aims to increase the property tax exemption for primary residences from school districts, raising it from $40,000 to $100,000, and to adjust the existing tax limitation for elderly or disabled homeowners to account for these increased exemptions, ensuring their tax bills don't rise due to these changes. Furthermore, the resolution seeks to exclude funds appropriated for property tax relief from a constitutional limit on how much state spending can grow each year and would permit the legislature to allow appraisal entities, which determine property values for tax purposes, to have governing bodies with four-year terms.
