2010 House Bill 6437

Establish property tax reclassification safeguards

Introduced in the House

Sept. 15, 2010

Introduced by Rep. Joseph Haveman (R-90)

To establish that any changes made by assessors in the “classification” of property for property tax purposes can only be applied prospectively, not retroactively. The main classifications are residential, industrial, commercial and agricultural, and how a property is classified can have a large effect on how much tax is imposed.
