2001 House Bill 4660

Introduced in the House

April 24, 2001

Introduced by Rep. Jim Plakas (D-17)

To extend indefinitely the appeal deadline for Homestead Property Tax exemptions for those who owned and occupied a homestead on May 1 in any tax year, but whose homestead exemption was not on the tax roll.

Referred to the Committee on Tax Policy

April 17, 2002

Substitute offered

To replace the previous version of the bill with a version which eliminates the current appeal process and institutes a new one as proposed by House Bill 5743, to which this bill is now tie-barred. That would allow an appeal for up to three years, and authorize rebates for excess taxes that have been paid in that time.

The substitute passed by voice vote

April 18, 2002

Passed in the House 99 to 0 (details)

To eliminate the current homestead property tax exemption appeal process, and institute a new one as proposed by House Bill 5743, which allows an owner who occupies a homestead with an exemption for the current year, and who owned and occupied that homestead in any of the three preceding years without an exemption, to file an appeal for the return of excess tax paid in those years.
