Bill > S08782

This bill amends the real property tax law to establish a new requirement for surviving spouses of police officers killed in the line of duty who are seeking a property tax exemption. Specifically, it mandates that any application for this exemption must be filed with the assessor, who is the local official responsible for valuing property for tax purposes, on or before the taxable status date, which is the specific date each year by which property ownership and value must be determined for tax purposes. This provision ensures that the exemption is processed in a timely manner according to established tax deadlines.
