House Bill 944 changes the time period in which a property owner can apply for a homestead exemption. The bill requires a property owner to apply for a homestead exemption at any time during the calendar year in which the property becomes the property owner's primary residence but prior to the expiration of the 45 days from the issuance of notice of assessment for the tax year. HB 944 also changes the requirements for the annual notice of current assessment. The bill requires the notice of current assessment to contain a list of all ad valorem tax exemptions that have been been granted for the current year along with the prior and current years' assessed value of the taxpayer's property. The bill would be effective January 1, 2025.
