Staff Analysis of the Legislation

Current summary of the bill as considered on the Senate floor 2.11.10: Includes a 20 percent exemption on the fair market value of 6 percent properties sold after 2010 and a 100 percent exemption on 6 percent properties sold in 2010. The exemptions could not bring the purchaser’s tax value below the property’s fair market value at the time of the county’s last reassessment. At future reassessments, these properties would be subject to Act 388’s 15 percent cap on increases in tax value. The compromise also allows local governments to look back up to three years to claim any increases in millage not yet imposed but allowed by Act 388. It also includes technical language to change the millage rollback formula.This compromise failed by a vote of 28-13 to pass the full Senate on Feb. 11, 2010.
