HB 53 lowers the interest rate that accrues during the period when a homeowner defers or abates the collection of ad valorem taxes. Instead of the usual penalty interest, the rate is capped at the lower of 5% or the five-year Constant Maturity Treasury Rate, thereby reducing the financial burden on homeowners who defer their taxes due to hardship or eligibility.
