The Senate passed the first tax reform bill of the session this morning, SR 796 is a Constitutional Amendment to freeze property tax assessment as of 2007 allowing residential property to rise in tax value at 2 percent per year thereafter and non-residential property to rise at 3 percent per year. All values are reset to fair market value when the property is sold.
