Bill > HB1846

This bill amends the Property Tax Code to extend the timeframe for filing property tax assessment complaints from 30 to 60 calendar days after the publication of the assessment list. The change applies to both taxing bodies and individual property owners seeking to challenge their property's assessment. Under the revised law, complainants will have more time to review assessment details and prepare their formal complaints to the board of review. The bill maintains existing provisions that require complaints to be in writing, identify the specific property in question, and provide an opportunity for the taxpayer to be heard before any assessment increase. Additionally, the bill preserves other existing procedural requirements, such as the board's ability to review and adjust assessments, the need to notify assessors before making reductions, and the requirement to serve copies of significant valuation change complaints to relevant taxing districts. These modifications aim to provide more flexibility and time for property owners and taxing bodies to address potential assessment errors while maintaining a fair and transparent review process.
