EXPLANATION
20
The
inclusion
of
this
explanation
does
not
constitute
agreement
with
21
the
explanation’s
substance
by
the
members
of
the
general
assembly.
22
Under
current
law,
calculations
of
the
percentage
of
actual
23
value
at
which
agricultural
and
residential
property
are
24
assessed
for
taxation
are
based
on
several
factors.
One
such
25
factor
is
the
percentage
of
growth
in
each
class
of
property.
26
Under
current
law,
the
amount
of
growth
that
may
be
used
to
27
calculate
the
taxable
percentage
of
each
class
of
property
is
28
limited
to
the
amount
of
growth
of
whichever
class
of
property
29
had
less
growth
in
the
previous
year
if
at
least
one
class
of
30
property
had
less
than
3
percent
growth.
31
This
bill
removes
the
limitation
that
residential
property
32
growth
and
agricultural
property
growth
may
only
be
calculated
33
based
on
whichever
class
of
property
had
lower
growth.
Both
34
classes
of
property
are
still
subject
to
the
limitation
that
