Headlee Amendment - What does it mean? |
|
 |
The Headlee Amendment was ratified in
1978 and limited the growth of property tax revenue. The
Headlee Amendment requires that when growth on existing property
community wide is greater than inflation, the local government must
“roll back” its maximum authorized millage rate so that the increase
in property tax revenue caused by growth on existing property does
not exceed inflation.
