Introduced in the House

Introduced by Rep. Kevin Green (R-77)

To allow a property owner who occupies a homestead with a primary residence (homestead) property tax exemption for the current year, and who owned and occupied that homestead in any previous years without an exemption, to file an appeal for the return of excess tax paid in those years. Under current law, taxpayers can only seek reimbursement for the current and preceding three years.
