Counties can now choose to impose a gross receipts tax (a tax on business sales) to fund reductions in property taxes paid by homeowners. The bill amends property tax billing procedures to accommodate this new county option, allowing counties to lower the property tax burden on owner-occupied homes by generating revenue from a broader sales-based tax instead.
