PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION -- Amends existing law to revise eligibility for receiving the homeowner's property tax reduction.

PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Many more Idahoans could benefit from property tax assistance than the state’s current “circuit-breaker” program permits. Additionally, new restrictions enacted in 2021 removed many seniors from the program based on their home value, even if they were low-income and their home was modest. This bill removes eligibility restrictions for the property tax reduction program (“circuit-breaker”) based on the value of the property as well as age limitations on the applicant so that Idahoans other than seniors may benefit. It increases the income limit to $50,000 per household.
