This amendment changes the sunset repeal of the long-term homeowner tax exemption into substantive amendments that revise the application deadline, create a streamlined renewal process, and extend the exemption provisions.
- Updates the bill's catch title from 'sunset repeal' to 'amendments' to reflect that the bill now makes substantive changes rather than merely repealing a sunset date. (Page 1, lines 1-2)
- Expands the bill's description in the catch title to specify that it revises the deadline to apply for the long-term homeowner property tax exemption and provides a method to claim the exemption in subsequent years. (Page 1, lines 4-8)
- Adds a new subsection that changes the annual application deadline from the fourth Monday in May to March 1, streamlining the timing for claims. (Page 1, line 29)
- Inserts a new subparagraph (D) creating an alternative renewal process whereby claimants who have filed an initial claim may retain their exemption in subsequent years by simply contacting the assessor's office by telephone, mail, or other communication by March 1 each year to confirm they continue to meet the exemption requirements, rather than resubmitting a full claim. (Page 1, lines 41-3 (Page 2))
- Renumbers the existing 'Section 1' of the parent bill to 'Section 2' to accommodate the new section being added. (Page 1, line 5)
- Renumbers the existing 'Section 2' of the parent bill to 'Section 3' to accommodate the new section being added. (Page 1, line 7)
