Property tax: exemptions; partial exemption for qualified principal residence upon transfer of ownership; provide for. Amends 1893 PA 206 (MCL 211.1 - 211.155) by adding sec. 7yy. TIE BAR WITH: HB 6005'26

This bill proposes a partial property tax exemption for homeowners in Michigan who sell their principal residence and purchase a new one within a specific timeframe. It would reduce the taxable value of the new home by 67% in the first year and 33% in the second year following the sale, but only if the new home's assessed value is more than 20% higher than the old home's value. The measure applies exclusively to properties that already qualify for school operating tax exemptions and requires the simultaneous passage of a companion bill to take effect.
