What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law prohibits a person from appearing before the board of review to contest the assessed value of the person's property if the person has refused a reasonable written request from the assessor to view the property or if the property is valued using the income method and the person has not provided income information to the assessor. A person who is prohibited from appearing before the board of review is also barred from filing a claim for an excessive assessment with the taxation district.
This bill allows a person who has refused a reasonable written request to view the person's property to appear before the board of review to contest the property's assessed value and, ultimately, to file a claim with the taxation district for an excessive assessment. The bill also provides that the assessor may not increase the value of a person's property based on the person's refusal to allow entry to the assessor. In addition, the bill requires an assessor to provide written notice to each owner of residential property regarding the property owner's right to refuse entry to his or her residence for property tax assessment purposes. Finally, the bill allows a person who has not complied with a request to provide income information to the assessor to file a claim for an excessive assessment even though the person is prohibited from appearing before the board of review.
