A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5301 AS INTRODUCED 11-13-03
The bill would amend the General Property Tax Act to replace, in two sections, references to the township “supervisor” with the “appropriate assessing officer.” The first section concerns the assessment of real property of lands owned by tenants with undivided interests in that property. The second section concerns an exemption against the property tax afforded to persons who are unable to pay the tax on their principal residence by reason of poverty.
