Description

CA No. 5 (ACT 133, 2021 - SB 154) -- Provides relative to property tax millage rate adjustments and maximum authorized millage rates

Do you support an amendment to allow the levying of a lower millage rate by a local taxing authority while maintaining the authority's ability to adjust to the current authorized millage rate? (Amend Article VII, Section 23(C))

A "yes" vote supports providing that ad valorem tax rates can be increased by a two-thirds vote of a taxing authority up to the maximum rate allowed by the constitution until the authorized rate expires rather than current law, which provides for an increase up to the maximum authorized rate in effect the prior year.

A "no" vote opposes providing that ad valorem tax rates can be increased by a two-thirds vote of a taxing authority up to the maximum rate allowed by the constitution until the authorized rate expires, thereby retaining current law, which provides for an increase up to the maximum authorized rate in effect the prior year.
