In a memo, state Rep. Warren Kampf, R-Montgomery, said some school districts are improperly seeking to increase revenue for their budgets by using “spot appeals” of property tax assessments or appealing county assessors' decisions after properties have been improved by their owners.
Kampf's HB 1213 legislation would add new requirements for appealing property tax assessments and provide standards of redress in appeals.
Under the proposed bill, a taxing district would be prohibited from appealing the assessment of a property based on the purchase or sale of the property, purchase or sale of a partial or total interest in the entity holding its legal title, financing or refinancing of the property of investments that affect the safety elements of the property or investments as required by fair housing or disability laws and regulations.
