What it does

The synopsis the General Assembly published with the bill.

To revise certain property tax provisions for purposes of clarity; to allow assessors to waive the assessment penalty upon the filing of the required information by a lessee and provide lessees with the right to appeal such penalties to the board of assessment appeals; to specifically include communications towers in the definition of real property taxable by towns; to clarify that a property tax lien cannot be used as a means of enforcing the collection of delinquent taxes with respect to property eased for nongovernmental use; to reorganize the board of assessment appeals’ statutes so that taxpayers may more easily be aware of extensions of the time period to file appeals; and to repeal an ineffectual provision regarding an extension of the time to complete the duties of assessors or board of assessment appeals.
