2008 Senate Bill 1239 ↩

House Roll Call 578: Passed

To revise the law that requires either the Department of Treasury or a county to undertake audits of the validity of principle residence (homestead) property tax exemptions claimed by homeowners. Under current law a county may elect to be responsible for the audits for a period of two years. The bill would change this to five years. Also, to extend the deadline for the owner of a former principle residence that is unsold and vacant to request a "recission" of the rescinding of the principle residence property tax exemption. The deadline extension would only apply during 2008.
