NebraskaProposed Nebraska rule would limit yearly property tax levy growth
If adopted, the bill would limit yearly increases in Nebraska subdivisions’ total property tax levies, while allowing extra growth tied to increases in property value.
What it does
Starting in 2027, a political subdivision’s total property tax levy could not rise by more than 2% plus growth in its property values. The bill says this limit would apply despite two existing state property tax limit acts.
Argument forThe limit could help keep yearly increases in a subdivision’s total property tax levy down, except when property values grow.
Argument againstIf a subdivision’s costs rise faster than the limit, it might have less room to raise property taxes for its needs.
More detail
The proposed rule would limit how much a political subdivision could increase its total property tax levy each year. It would cover the total property taxes levied by a political subdivision in a year. The limit would begin January 1, 2027, and compare each year’s levy with the amount levied the prior year.
