Bill > HB1380

This bill modifies Tennessee's property tax relief program for elderly persons by allowing tax officials to waive the requirement of verifying an applicant's income if they are at least 80 years old and have received tax relief for the same residence for the past five consecutive years, or if they have been a co-owner of the same property for five years and another co-owner received tax relief during that time, provided they still meet the income threshold and all other non-income-related eligibility requirements. The bill also clarifies that officials can still request documentation for other individuals whose income is attributable to the applicant or for non-income-related criteria, and that applicants must still submit an annual application, though a simplified reapplication process will be developed for those meeting these new criteria.
