Bill > HB06528

This bill aims to standardize and improve property tax relief programs for seniors, veterans, and those eligible for circuit breaker tax relief by establishing a uniform deadline for submitting applications. The legislation will require municipalities to create optional online application processes, which will make it easier for residents to apply for these tax relief programs. Additionally, the bill provides flexibility by allowing late applications in cases of medical reasons (which must be confirmed by a physician) or other extenuating circumstances. The term "circuit breaker" refers to a type of property tax relief program that provides tax credits or reductions for low-income homeowners or renters who are disproportionately burdened by property taxes relative to their income. By creating a more accessible and understanding application process, the bill seeks to ensure that eligible individuals can more easily access these important tax relief programs.
