District 22
House Bill 245

From the 153rd General Assembly, this Act amends Title 14 to remove the automatic allowance for public school districts to increase property tax rates by up to 10% following a countywide reassessment. Beginning July 1, 2025, any post-reassessment tax rate must remain revenue-neutral unless a district faces a projected revenue loss directly caused by reassessment. In such cases, a limited increase—capped at 10%—may be permitted to maintain fiscal stability.
