Introduced in the House

March 5, 2009

Introduced by Rep. Jim Stamas (R-98)

To grant a pro-rated homestead property tax exemption after May 1 to a person who acquires and occupies a homestead for which an exemption was not already on the tax roll on May 1. Under current law, if an owner has not filed the principal residence (homestead) property tax exemption for a residence by May 1, then the property tax exemption does not apply until the following year.
