limit annual valuation increases on owner-occupied single-family dwellings and provide an exception for mill rate limitations on taxing districts.

HB 1312 limits annual increases in the assessed value of owner-occupied single-family homes to an inflation-based index, preventing rapid tax hikes for homeowners. It applies only to homes where the owner lives, not rentals or commercial properties. The bill requires full reassessment at market value when a home is sold (capped at sale price), and allows limited value increases for property improvements or changes in use. Taxing districts must maintain revenue levels from 2025 or earlier, adjusted for inflation, to avoid exceeding mill rate limits.
