1 B. 1. Each year, for the following two (2) years, beginning
2 January 1, 2027, there shall be an increase to the exemption
3 prescribed by subsection A of this section if the gross household
4 income of the homeowner is equal to or less than triple the median
5 gross household income for this state. The amount of the increase
6 equals the dollar amount of the increase in the fair cash value of
7 the homestead compared to the preceding tax year.
8 2. In the event that in a subsequent year the income threshold
9 prescribed by paragraph one of this subsection is exceeded, the
10 total dollar amount of the homestead exemption, including any
11 increase previously received, shall remain the same until the next
12 year in which the income threshold is met. In the event the fair
13 cash value of the homestead decreases, the total dollar amount of
14 the homestead exemption received shall equal the amount of the
15 exemption received in the preceding tax year.
16 3. The county assessor shall adjust the homestead exemption
17 annually by calculating the change in the fair cash value from the
18 preceding tax year for each eligible homestead and applying it to
19 the exemption prescribed by subsection A.
20 SECTION 2. This act shall become effective January 1, 2027.
