Idaho Senate sends property tax relief legislation to governor

property-tax-2

The state Senate has unanimously approved a House Bill, which helps more elderly, low-income Idahoans qualify for the circuit breaker property tax relief program.

The bill, which was sponsored by Pollock Republican Representative Charlie Shepherd, increases the home value cap to qualify for the program from 125% of the county median assessed value to 150% or $300,000, whichever is greater.

Increasing the cap will help hundreds of Idahoans who otherwise would have been kicked off the program to qualify for up to $1,500 per year in property tax relief.

The measure now goes to Governor Brad Little for his signature.  (Lewiston Tribune)
