AI Summary

  • Homestead property assessments would be based on the most recent purchase price (or construction cost for new builds) rather than "just value" (fair market value) as of January 1 of the year the homestead exemption is received
  • Annual reassessments would set the assessed value at the prior year's assessed value, eliminating the current cap system that limits increases to the lesser of 3% or the Consumer Price Index change
  • Changes, additions, or improvements to homestead property would be assessed at the documented cost of such work rather than at just value upon substantial completion
  • The existing "portability" provision allowing homeowners to transfer up to $500,000 in accumulated assessment savings from a previous homestead to a new homestead would be repealed entirely
  • The Department of Revenue would be required to create a grant program to assist local governments with revenue shortfalls resulting from these changes, and the act's effective date is contingent on voter approval of a corresponding constitutional amendment (SJR ____)
