Bill > HJR141

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to modify the state tax commission's property assessment equalization powers, to be voted on at the 2026 general election. The amendment would establish a commission appointed by the governor and confirmed by the senate with the power to equalize assessments between counties and hear appeals from local assessment boards. Notably, beginning January 1, 2027, the commission's powers will be limited: it will only be able to uphold or lower individual property assessments, not raise them, and will be required to provide counties with detailed lists of properties that are not valued in compliance with assessment standards. The resolution aims to provide more transparency and restrict the commission's ability to unilaterally increase property valuations, potentially offering more protection to property owners against unexpected assessment increases.
