Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Clearer notices for property tax hikes
Beginning May 6, 2026, a fiscal‑year taxing entity that plans a rate above its certified tax rate must adopt an interim budget by June 30. It must show a property tax impact schedule with the extra dollars, the percent revenue increase, and the estimated change for an average home and an average commercial property. The schedule must list department budget changes and how services would be affected. The entity must set aside at least the extra ad valorem revenue in a restricted account and cannot spend it until the final budget is adopted. The county must publish this impact schedule with the official notice.
June tax data deadlines and alerts
Beginning May 6, 2026, county assessors must deliver valuation data by June 1 each year. They send aggregate taxable real property values and prior‑year personal property values to the county auditor and the Tax Commission. County auditors must send those statements, an estimate of personal property revenue, the certified tax rate, and levy forms by June 13. By July 31, the Tax Commission must email alerts for large centrally assessed value changes. It must notify at 10% or more of year‑end taxable value, and at 50% or more for a single taxpayer, and list taxpayers that meet the 50% test.
New formula for certified tax rates
Beginning May 6, 2026, officials must use a set formula to compute each certified tax rate. They divide last year’s budgeted ad valorem revenue by an adjusted tax base. The base removes current incremental value, applies a three‑year average change, and a five‑year collection rate. It also subtracts eligible new growth times the collection rate. A separate judgment levy may be used only to pay eligible court judgments, and it is excluded from the certified tax rate.
