|
|
|
Amends the Property Tax Code. Provides that, notwithstanding any other law to
the contrary, for taxable years 2005 and 2006, the rate on any tax imposed
under the Act may not be increased from the rate imposed in the 2004 taxable
year. A school district, however, may increase property tax rates
by referendum.
Provides that, notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, for taxable years
2005 and 2006, the equalized assessed value of property shall be the same as
the equalized assessed value of that property for the 2004 taxable year.
If, however, a parcel of property is improved during taxable year
2005 or 2006, the assessment of that property shall be the assessment for the
2004 taxable year plus the increase in assessed value solely as a result of the
improvement and, once the 2004 assessment is increased to reflect an
improvement, the assessment for that
property shall remain the same for the duration of the assessment freeze
period. Effective immediately.
