PREVIOUS LEGISLATION

(This section does not provide a comprehensive account of previous legislative efforts on this subject matter.)

 

The bill is similar to Senate Bill 480 of the 2023-2024 Legislative Session. Senate Bill 480 passed the Senate and was reported from the House Committee on Local Government and Municipal Finance but received no further action.

FISCAL IMPACT

 

The bill would have an indeterminate fiscal impact on the State and local governmental units. The bill would increase the parceling of property. If these individual parcels generated more tax revenue collectively than as part of the original parcel this would lead to a positive fiscal impact for the State and the local government unit; however, if individually the parcels generated less tax revenue collectively than as part of the original parcel this would lead to a negative fiscal impact for the State and the local government unit.
