A bill for an act relating to local governments by modifying individual property tax statements mailed to owners and taxpayers, and requiring notifications by mail of bond issuances.

HF 39 modifies how local governments communicate property tax changes and bond issuances to residents. Starting July 1, 2026, property tax statements mailed to owners must show a side-by-side comparison of current year taxes versus the estimated taxes for the next year, including the percentage change. For bond issuances (e.g., for infrastructure projects), local governments must mail written notice to every eligible voter, including the bond amount, project purpose, estimated cost, and the specific annual tax increase for a $100,000 home. This directly affects property owners receiving tax bills and voters in counties/cities issuing bonds, requiring clearer financial transparency before bond votes.
