A Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, further providing for special provisions for local taxing authorities.

HB 625 proposes a constitutional amendment allowing counties of the first and second class in Pennsylvania to create uniform tax exemptions for longtime owner-occupants of homes in neighborhoods where property values have risen significantly due to renovations or new construction. The bill specifically prohibits local governments from raising millage rates to fund these tax breaks. This would directly affect homeowners in targeted areas of larger counties and local taxing authorities managing property taxes. The amendment requires voter approval after legislative passage.
