Change provisions relating to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, the rate and disbursement of the documentary stamp tax, the Rural Workforce Housing Investment Fund, and the Middle Income Workforce Housing Investment Fund
LB 1067 adjusts how documentary stamp tax revenue is distributed to fund housing programs in Nebraska. It specifies that for every $2.82 collected on property transfers (deeds), 95 cents goes to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, 75 cents each to the Rural Workforce and Middle Income Workforce Housing Investment Funds, and smaller portions to other housing-related funds. The bill harmonizes existing tax allocation rules across these funds and ensures collected revenue is used solely for designated housing purposes. This directly affects property sellers and buyers paying the transfer tax, with funds supporting affordable housing initiatives. The changes take effect upon enactment, modifying current tax distribution formulas.
