HB 1235 -- Property Tax Assessments

Co-Sponsors:  Hosmer, Kreider

This bill shifts the burden of proof on appeals of residential
real property tax assessments from the taxpayer to the assessor.
Under current law, the burden of proof is only on the assessor in
cases of computer-generated assessments in certain counties.

The bill also reduces the maximum acreage that can be considered
residential versus agricultural in and around farmsteads from
five acres to one acre.
