HB 5997 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Individual income tax: property tax credit; homestead property tax credit; increase, and modify income threshold. Amends secs. 520 & 522 of 1967 PA 281 (MCL 206.520 & 206.522).

This bill proposes changes to Michigan's individual income tax law by adjusting the income limits for the property tax credit and the homestead property tax credit. Specifically, it seeks to increase the income thresholds that determine eligibility for these credits, which are financial benefits designed to help homeowners offset their property tax bills. The legislation directly affects Michigan residents who claim these credits on their state tax returns, as it would alter the income levels required to qualify for them. By amending specific sections of the state's Income Tax Act, the bill aims to modify how much income a taxpayer can earn while still receiving these tax reductions.
