Based on stage, sponsorship breadth, committee status, recorded votes, and cross-state momentum — a description of the observable signals, not a prediction.

In plain language

Waives property tax interest and penalties on decedents' estates under certain conditions.

This bill allows representatives of a decedent's estate to waive interest and penalties on property taxes during probate. The waiver lasts from the date of death until the property is sold or the estate is closed.

What this means for you
  • Families: This means families won't incur additional property tax costs immediately after a loved one's death while settling their estate.

Summary

Amends the Property Tax Code. Provides that no interest or penalties shall be imposed with respect to property that is included in a decedent's probate estate at the time of a delinquency if the representative of the decedent's estate applies with the county treasurer for a waiver of those amounts and is granted that waiver. Provides that the waiver shall apply beginning on the date of the decedent's death until the earlier of either: (i) the date on which the property is sold, transferred, or conveyed or (ii) the date on which the estate is closed.
