Relating to local option tax measures.
HB 3685 requires local governments to include specific, clear information in ballot titles for tax measures. It mandates bold warnings stating if a new tax could increase property taxes over 3% or if a measure renews current taxes. The bill also requires detailed disclosures about the tax rate, duration, and estimated dollar impacts on median and higher property values for the first year. These changes apply to all counties, cities, and other local areas holding elections on local option taxes or rate limitations, ensuring voters see concrete financial details before voting.
