AI Summary

  • Limits the assessed value of homestead property upon change of ownership when the new owner qualifies for homestead exemption and the property's prior assessed value was less than $500,000

  • Caps the new assessed value at 150% of the property's assessed value from the preceding year, rather than resetting to full just value

  • After the initial capped assessment, annual changes remain subject to existing constitutional limitations on homestead assessment increases

  • Takes effect only if voters approve the related constitutional amendment proposed by SJR 278 at the next general election or authorized special election
