What’s in it

AI summary If a person or company owns more than 10 single-family homes, those houses will no longer be taxed as residential property. Instead, the state will tax those specific homes as commercial property. This change affects owners who hold large numbers of single-family houses.1

Read the official explanation

This bill prohibits single-family homes that are owned by a titleholder of more than 10 single-family homes from being classified as residential property for purposes of property taxation. Instead, a single-family home that is owned by a titleholder who owns more than 10 single-family homes shall be classified as commercial for property tax purposes. The bill defines “single-family home” to mean a parcel that is used or intended for human habitation containing one dwelling unit.
