Summary
The bill adds a new section to Michigan’s property tax law that gives a temporary reduction in taxable value for a principal residence when it is transferred and the assessed value jumps at least 20% above what it would have been. The reduction is 67 % of the excess value in the first year after the transfer and 33 % in the second year. The exemption only applies if a related bill (HB 6005) is also enacted.
