Bill Summary

AN ACT TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING PROPERTY TAX RELIEF; TO REQUIRE COUNTIES TO PROVIDE NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS CONCERNING CERTAIN PROPERTY TAX RELIEF OFFERED UNDER ARKANSAS LAW; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

AI Summary

This bill amends Arkansas property tax law to require counties to provide more transparent notice to taxpayers about property tax relief options for individuals who are over 65 years old or have a disability. Specifically, the bill mandates that property tax statements must now include a clear notification about available property tax relief under both state law and Arkansas Constitutional Amendment 79. This notification must be prominently displayed, either by being printed in bold font, highlighted, or included as an insert with the tax statement. The notification must also clearly explain the eligibility requirements for the property tax relief. The goal of this bill appears to be improving taxpayer awareness and making it easier for qualifying individuals to understand and access property tax relief programs that they may be entitled to receive.
