What’s in it

This bill provides that if the owner of a homestead meets the requirements of and has filed a claim for the homestead credit for certain disabled veterans and is liable for the payment of taxes levied on the homestead as the result of an assessment year prior to the assessment year for which the homestead credit is applicable, the owner may file a petition with the board of supervisors requesting abatement of all such taxes. The board of supervisors may, if in the board’s judgment it is for the best interests of the public and the petitioner, order the county treasurer to abate the taxes levied for any such assessment year for which the owner is liable.
