The ‘Governor’s Tax Credit’ for homestead property was NOT funded by the State legislature for 2009 which will result in an increase on your 2009 tax bill between $77.04 and $228.24 (depending on other exemptions you have or whether your Property is located within the city limits). You can determine the exact amount your tax bill will increase in 2009 on this web site by locating the ‘Homeowners Tax Credit’ amount deducted on your 2008 tax bill.
If your taxes are paid from an escrow account through your mortgage lender, you may want to notify them so the escrow payment amount can be adjusted accordingly.
