AI Summary
This bill directs the Legislative Revenue Officer to conduct a comprehensive study on land value taxation (LVT), a property tax system that would impose a higher tax rate on land assessments compared to improvement assessments. The study must analyze several key aspects, including the potential tax burden effects of transitioning from the current property tax system established by Ballot Measures 5 and 50, create simulation models comparing tax applications using true market assessments, and examine economic incentive effects on different land uses in urban and rural jurisdictions. Additionally, the study will evaluate potential tax burden relief measures such as a homestead exemption and property tax deferral for financially overburdened homeowners. The Legislative Revenue Officer is required to submit a report to the interim legislative committees related to revenue by September 15, 2026. The bill includes a sunset provision that will repeal the section at the start of the 2027 legislative session, and it will take effect 91 days after the adjournment of the 2025 regular legislative session.
