The proposed bill would amend current statutes regarding property tax procedures by allowing tax officers to accept electronic responses to notices of proposed corrections and electronic notices of claims from taxpayers. Specifically, it would insert provisions that require tax officers to provide an acknowledgment or response of receipt for electronic submissions, while maintaining that any communication mandated to be served by certified mail remains unchanged. The time limits and procedural requirements that currently apply to written communications would also apply to these electronic communications.

Additionally, the bill would delete the existing requirement for tax officers to provide an electronic acknowledgment of receipt specifically for electronic notices of claim, replacing it with a broader provision that encompasses both proposed corrections and claims. This change aims to streamline the communication process between taxpayers and tax officers, facilitating a more efficient handling of property tax issues while ensuring that the necessary legal protocols are still followed.
