HB 2571

Amends the Property Tax Code. Provides that, if property was granted a homestead exemption for persons with disabilities for any taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2025, and if the property remains eligible for the exemption in a subsequent consecutive taxable year, then the total property tax liability for the property for the applicable taxable year may not exceed the total property tax liability for (i) taxable year 2025 or (ii) the first year in which the property became eligible for the exemption, whichever occurs later, unless the chief county assessment officer finds that there were substantial improvements made to the property during the previous taxable year or years. Effective immediately.
