2012 House Bill 5853

Exempt resident public safety personnel from property tax

Introduced in the House

Sept. 11, 2012

Introduced by Rep. Kurt Heise (R-20)

To exempt the residences of police and firefighters from property tax if the person lives in the same jurisdiction where he or she is employed. A state law passed in 1999 prohibited cities from mandating that public safety workers live in the jurisdiction; see also House Bill 5229 and Senate Bill 879, which would repeal that law.

Referred to the Committee on Tax Policy
