Bill > HB2826

This bill amends the Property Tax Code to change the population threshold for multi-township assessors from 1,000 to 3,000 inhabitants, effective after the publication of the 2030 federal census data. Specifically, the bill introduces the concept of "qualified townships" and "maximum population amount," which will allow townships with populations up to 3,000 (instead of the current 1,000) to be part of multi-township assessment districts. If a township becomes subject to these provisions as a result of the 2030 census population data, the new rules will apply starting with the first general election after the data's publication. The bill maintains existing rules about how multi-township assessment districts are formed, such as requiring townships to be contiguous and located within the same county, but updates the population threshold that determines when these provisions apply. This change will likely impact how property assessments are conducted in smaller, less populated townships, potentially creating more efficient assessment processes by allowing more townships to share assessors.
