AI Summary
This bill provides a full value exemption from Cherokee County School District ad valorem taxes for educational purposes for certain senior and disabled residents of the school district. To qualify, a resident must have been granted a homestead exemption for property located within the district for at least five years. The bill also grandfathers in residents who qualified for the exemption as it existed in 2024. The bill requires a referendum for approval by voters in Cherokee County and specifies the details of the election process. If approved, the exemption would take effect on January 1, 2025, and the bill would repeal any conflicting laws.
