Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a taxation district treasurer may designate one or more
public depositories to which taxpayers may make property tax payments in advance
of the property tax levy. Under this bill, a taxation district treasurer or county
treasurer, as appropriate, may designate one or more public depositories to which
taxpayers may make property tax payments after the property tax levy.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
