What’s in it
AI summary People who qualify for property tax credits due to age, disability, or low income usually have until June 1 to file their claims. If someone is sick or has a good reason for being late, county treasurers can currently extend that deadline until September. This change would allow treasurers to extend the filing deadline as late as March of the following year instead.1
Read the official explanation
A claim for credit for property taxes due under Code chapter 425, subchapter II (elderly, disabled, and low-income property tax credit), is generally required to be filed with the county treasurer between January and June 1, both dates inclusive, immediately preceding the fiscal year during which the property taxes are due. However, in case of sickness, absence, or other disability of the claimant, or if in the judgment of the county treasurer good cause exists, the county treasurer may extend the time for filing a claim for credit through September of the same calendar year. This bill extends that potential extension period to March of the fiscal year during which the property taxes are due. The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies to property taxes due and payable in fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2023.
