What This Bill Would Do
Senate Joint Resolution 75 proposes a constitutional amendment to freeze increases for residential properties located in subdivisions immediately adjacent to subdivisions receiving s, pending voter approval at the November 2026 election. If approved, the freeze will remain in effect for the entire duration that the neighboring subdivision receives its tax abatement.
Property owners living next to tax-abated developments would see their home assessment values capped, potentially stabilizing their local property tax burdens while neighboring areas receive tax breaks.
Who It Would Affect
Groups the bill's text would affect if enacted, as described in the record. Being affected is not a position for or against it.
Residential property owners in adjacent subdivisions
Their property assessment values are barred from increasing for the duration of the neighboring tax abatement.
Department of revenue
Must establish and administer a dedicated program responsible for implementing the assessment freeze.
