Description

Real estate tax; limitation on tax rate. Provides that a county, city, or town may not set its real property tax for any tax year at a rate that would produce more than 105 percent of the previous year's total real property tax levies for such county, city, or town. Under current law, (i) the annual growth rate in a locality's total real estate taxes from an annual assessment, biennial assessment or general reassessment is not capped, provided the locality holds a public hearing in regard to its real property tax rate; and (ii) there is no cap on real property tax rates.
