Summary

The bill changes the property tax act to require that anyone whose poverty exemption claim is denied must file an appeal within 30 days, and no later than 35 days after the denial. It also clarifies that a mailed appeal is timely if the postmark meets the deadline. This gives claimants a clear, enforceable timeline for contesting denials.
