Bill would require Department of Revenue to notify counties of large taxable‑value drops
Summary
Senator Denley Logie told the House Taxation Committee SB 289 would require the Department of Revenue to send electronic notice to counties when proposed property‑value adjustments exceed $1.5 million.
Senator Denley Logie told the House Taxation Committee that Senate Bill 289 was prompted by a lumber mill closure near St. Regis that produced a large, unexpected drop in taxable value and “caught the county off guard.”
Logie said SB 289 would require the Department of Revenue to send electronic notice to counties when proposed property tax adjustments for a parcel or taxpayer exceed $1,500,000 so local budgeting officials are not surprised by sudden declines in the tax base. “It’s basically simply to do that — send out this notification,” he said, adding the measure is intended principally to assist smaller counties that are heavily dependent on a few natural‑resource producers.
