Allow property owners to vote in voted levy elections

This bill allows property owners who do not live in the area being taxed to vote in local mill levy elections, expanding the traditional rule that only residents can vote. The measure would let any person who owns real property within a taxing jurisdiction cast one vote in these elections, even if they rent or own a home elsewhere. Property owners must prove they have paid taxes on the property to qualify, and joint owners can each vote individually. The bill also requires election ballots to include information about how the tax increase might affect rental costs and specific tax impacts on homes valued at $100,000, $300,000, and $600,000.
