Summary
Butler County Assessor Dave Wangsness summarized provisions of House Study Bill 313 and Senate Study Bill 1208, saying they aim to eliminate rollbacks and credits and cap budgeted tax dollars at 2% of valuation absent new construction.
Butler County Assessor Dave Wangsness briefed the Board of Supervisors on proposed state-level property-tax changes at the March 11 meeting.
Wangsness outlined highlights of House Study Bill 313 and Senate Study Bill 1208 intended to change local property-tax calculations, including provisions described in the minutes as eliminating rollbacks and credits and capping budgeted tax dollars at 2% of valuations annually unless there is new construction.
The minutes record Wangsness's description of those goals but do not include a board vote, formal action, or a local policy change; the item was discussed for informational purposes as part of the meeting.
The board did not record further direction to staff or a timeline for a formal response to the proposed state bills in the minutes.
