HB4290

HB4290 amends the Property Tax Code to enhance transparency and taxpayer rights.

HB4290 amends the Property Tax Code to require each property tax bill to include specified information, such as the rate at which taxes have been extended, the dollar amount of tax due, and a QR code link for contact information and tax bill history. It mandates that taxing districts notify property owners if they adopt an aggregate levy exceeding 105% of the previous year's levy. The bill also establishes a Property Taxpayer's Bill of Rights, granting taxpayers the right to a clear, accurate tax bill, notices under the Truth in Taxation Law, and the ability to appeal property assessments.
