Change the Property Tax Growth Limitation Act and the School District Property Tax Relief Act and change provisions relating to budget limitations, municipal occupation taxes, and property tax statements
This bill modifies Nebraska's Property Tax Growth Limitation Act and School District Property Tax Relief Act. It changes how municipalities and school districts calculate annual property tax limits by revising formulas for "allowable growth" (accounting for new construction, annexation, and inflation) and adjusting budget calculation methods. The bill also updates rules for municipal occupation taxes, property tax statements, and allows counties to retain certain funds for costs under the School District Property Tax Relief Act. These changes directly affect local governments, school districts, and county treasurers in managing property tax revenues. The bill amends specific statutes (13-518, 13-3403, etc.) but does not alter the underlying tax rates or revenue collection mechanisms.
