  • Ballot measures on taxation submitted by political subdivisions must be labeled only numerically or alphabetically, prohibiting descriptive labels

  • Any ballot measure seeking to add, change, or modify real property taxes must express the proposed change in terms of real dollars owed per $100,000 of market valuation

  • When voters approve a temporary levy increase followed by a subsequent levy increase, the tax rate ceiling automatically decreases when the temporary levy expires under its original terms

  • Ballot language must clearly indicate when approval of a permanent levy increase would make a temporary levy permanent

  • After voters approve a tax rate increase, political subdivisions must use the current tax rate ceiling plus the voter-approved increase for the tax year immediately following the election, with provisions allowing rate adjustments if assessed valuations decline
