Committee must recommend property tax rates

The law requires the Revenue Interim Committee to tell the next Legislature whether to change property tax rates. The committee must use the state's Taxable Value Neutrality Report from the second year of each property reappraisal cycle. The review can support raising or lowering rates. The committee also looks at effects on property tax bills, the statewide levy limit, and local voter-approved levies. This is a review and recommendation only. It does not change tax rates or spend money now.
