What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law allows a property owner to recover the amount of property taxes

paid as a result of what the property owner believes is an excessive property tax

assessment. The property owner must file a claim with the taxation district where

the property is located. If the taxation district denies the claim, the property owner

may commence an action in circuit court to recover the amount of the claim. This bill

provides that the taxation district may present as evidence to the circuit court

appraisals to support the challenged assessment and the court may not reject any

such appraisal solely because the valuation determined by the appraisal is higher

than the assessment.
