Provide county notification for certain property tax adjustments
SB 289 requires the Department of Revenue to notify counties and municipalities when the preliminary market value of a property in their area decreases by more than $1.5 million since the last reappraisal. This electronic notice, which must include both prior and preliminary market values, is sent around the same time the property owner receives their appraisal notice. The bill aims to inform local governments about significant property valuation changes that could affect their tax base. Upon request, the Department of Revenue must meet with the county and provide public information used for the valuation. This requirement does not apply to class four residential properties.
