| Session | 2018 Regular Session |
| Subjects |
Concerning the preservation of the senior property tax exemption of a senior who changes his or her primary residence due to medical necessity, and, in connection therewith, defining medical necessity to include a medical condition verified by a physician that required a senior to move from the senior's primary residence to a primary residence that the senior can freely occupy without using stairs or a primary residence that is not located in a high-altitude area.
Bill Summary:
The bill specifies that for property tax years commencing on or after January 1, 2019, a senior is deemed to be a 10-year owner-occupier of a primary residence that the senior has owned and occupied for less than 10 years and therefore qualifies for the senior property tax exemption for the residence if:
- The senior would have qualified for the senior property tax exemption for the senior's former primary residence but medical necessity forced the senior to stop occupying the former primary residence;
- The senior has not previously received the exemption by operation of the medical necessity exemption for any former primary residence; and
- The senior has not owned and occupied another primary residence since the senior first stopped occupying his or her former primary residence due to medical necessity.
(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
