Longer timeline for volunteers' property tax breaks

The law takes effect immediately and extends a deadline in the 2022 volunteer property tax law. Section two of that law takes effect six years after the 2022 law’s effective date, instead of three years. Local governments can offer property tax breaks to qualifying volunteer firefighters and volunteer ambulance workers who own property. Tax savings depend on local adoption and eligibility; this change sets no exemption amount.
