What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, for claims filed in 2018 and thereafter, the homestead tax credit

maximum property taxes or rent constituting property taxes that a claimant may use

in calculating his or her credit are increased from $1,460 to $1,976, the maximum

income is increased from $24,680 to $33,389, and the threshold income is increased

from $8,000 to $10,902. The maximum credit is also increased from $1,168 to $1,581.

Under the formula as calculated under the bill, as a claimant's income exceeds

$10,902, the credit is phased out until the credit equals zero when income exceeds

$33,389. Under this bill, using the formula in the bill (80 percent of the property

taxes accrued or rent constituting property taxes accrued) for claimants whose

household income is $10,902 or less, the credit that may be claimed ranges from $10

to $1,581. Also under the bill, the homestead tax credit formula factors are all

indexed for inflation for taxable year 2018 and beyond.
