Bill Summary

Relative to property tax relief for elderly persons. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill aims to make the property tax relief for elderly persons more equitable. The key provision is that it changes the maximum property value threshold for eligibility for the tax relief from a fixed amount of $600,000 to the median assessed value for a single-family home in the municipality for the preceding calendar year, as calculated by the Department of Revenue. This adjustment ties the eligibility threshold to the local real estate market, ensuring the tax relief is more accessible to senior citizens across different communities.
