Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

No yearly refile for current-use status

Beginning April 1, 2026, owners who qualify for a current-use assessment do not have to reapply each year. The law repeals the old reapplication rule. This cuts paperwork and lowers the risk of losing current-use status because of a missed refiling.

Residential-use appraisal for homes in business zones

Beginning April 1, 2026, if you are the owner of record of a home in an industrial or commercial zone, you can ask for a special appraisal based on its current use as a residence. Apply to your local assessing officials on or before April 15; after your first approval, you do not need to apply again each year. Officials can accept a late first application if accident, mistake, or misfortune kept you from filing, but not after the local tax rate for that year is approved by the commissioner of revenue administration. This can change how your property tax is calculated.
