Proposal Authorizes Annual Local Property Tax Reappraisals:

The House Finance, Ways, and Means Subcommittee advanced legislation supported by the State Comptroller’s office that would shrink the window of allowable property tax appraisal cycles. Currently, local governments can reappraise property every four to six years. SB1946/HB2057 would allow local governments to reappraise as frequently as one year up to four year cycles.
