Hardeman County - Subject to local approval, increases, from 85 percent to 92 percent, the assumed property tax collection rate in setting the general tax rate for the county general fund and creating a county budget that covers expenditures for the next appropriation year. - Amends Chapter 68 of the Private Acts of 1937; as amended.

SB 1456 increases Hardeman County’s assumed property tax collection rate from 85% to 92% when calculating the general tax rate for the county’s general fund budget. This change directly affects Hardeman County officials and taxpayers, as it allows the county to budget for higher projected tax revenue when setting annual spending levels. The bill amends specific state code to adjust this collection rate threshold, requiring county legislative approval by a two-thirds vote before taking effect. The policy change modifies how the county estimates its property tax income for budget planning, without altering tax rates or creating new taxes.
