What S 414 does, verified January 9, 2026

The bill aims to amend the real property tax law to exempt certain class one properties from a cap on assessed value growth. These properties are those with a market value under $3 million and a gross household income of $250,000 or less. The assessment of these properties will not be increased by more than 6% in any year and by no more than 20% in a five-year period. The first five-year period will be measured from the individual assessment appearing on the assessment roll completed in 1980 or the first year the subdivision applied to the property. The bill will take effect on January 1, 2026, and apply to assessment rolls completed on or after that date.
