2011 House Bill 4429

Expand property tax poverty waivers

Introduced in the House

Introduced by Rep. Shanelle Jackson (D-9)

To increase the income threshold that allows a local government to defer forfeiture proceedings against a property owner with delinquent property tax. Under current law the threshold is the “federal poverty standards” or whatever amount a local government chooses above that amount. The bill would raise this to 200 percent of the poverty level.
