SCS/SB 100 - Beginning January 1, 2021, this act allows a taxpayer that is a resident of a city or county that imposes any city-wide or county-wide ordinance or order prohibiting or restricting the use of the taxpayer's real property to receive a credit against property taxes owed on such affected property. The amount of the credit shall be a percentage of the property tax liability that is equal to the percentage of the calendar year that the restrictions on the use of the property were in place. A taxpayer shall pay his or her property taxes in full prior to submitting a statement to the county collector requesting the credit authorized by the act. Within thirty days of the receipt of such statement, the city or county shall issue the credit to the taxpayer.
The credit authorized by this act shall only apply to real property tax liabilities owed to a city or county imposing such an ordinance, and shall not apply to property tax liabilities owed to any other taxing jurisdiction.
This act contains an emergency clause.
This act is substantially similar to HB 725 (2021) and to a provision contained in SS/SCS/SBs 12 et al. (2021) and CCS/HCS/SB 226 (2021).
