HOUSE BILL 449
Law
Homestead exemption, penalties
PROPERTY TAXES – Amends existing law to provide penalties for improper homestead exemption claims and to provide for information-sharing between certain government entities.
RS31095 / H0449
This legislation provides a penalty for a taxpayer claiming more than one homestead exemption for property tax. The first violation is a financial penalty with subsequent violations being subject to a misdemeanor. Further, this legislation allows for sharing of information to the Secretary of State to assist in determining that this taxpayer is only voting or running for office in their primary residence. It also clarifies what information needs to be collected to make such determinations.
This legislation may lead to a slight improvement in collecting property taxes already owed along with a slight increase in revenue for local jurisdictions from the accompanying penalties.
