Background
This legislation will establish the homestead property tax credit for the County property tax for the taxable year beginning July 1, 2017, as required by State law. Based on current Consumer Price Index (CPI) trends, the Homestead Property Tax Credit needs to be set at 101% for the taxable year beginning July 1, 2017.
