What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, generally, a person must pay the person's property taxes in full no later than January 31 of the year after the year in which the taxes are assessed or in two equal installments, with the first installment due by January 31 and the second installment due by July 31. A taxation district, other than a first class city, may, however, adopt an ordinance to allow a taxpayer to pay in three or more installments, if the last installment is due no later than July 31. A first class city may adopt an ordinance to allow payment of property taxes in either seven or ten equal installments.
Under this bill, a taxpayer may pay his or her property taxes in 12 equal installments if the taxpayer provides evidence to the county or taxation district where the property is located that the taxpayer's adjusted gross income is less than 50 percent of the median family income for the county in which the taxpayer's property is located.
