Digest

HJR 200 allows the Legislature to exempt from school district property taxes a portion of the market value of certain leased residential properties that are at least 15 years old. It also creates a Property Tax Relief to Rental Households Fund, which will receive state appropriations and provide direct property tax relief payments to renters. The measure would appropriate $3.8 billion from the state’s general revenue fund in 2026 for this purpose.
