Summary

The measure clarifies that ordinary repairs, like roof or window replacement, are not treated as improvements that trigger a new tax assessment. It also permits counties to stop requiring yearly exemption applications if the property appraiser requests it and the county board votes to waive the requirement, while imposing interest and penalties on owners who keep exemptions they’re not entitled to. Additional lien and penalty provisions target improper senior exemptions and out‑of‑state estate cases.
