SF 2685 & HF 3107:  Fixing Horse Boarding Property Tax Classification

 We now have identical, or companion bills introduced in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.  Senate File 2685 and House File 3107 would synthesize the statute classifying horse boarding property with Department of Revenue's Final Report and the Sommerdorf tax court decision.

  It would be good to have more legislators agree to co-author the bills and babysit them as they progress through the legislative process.  We want to be sure that nobody changes or adds to them, though.  They must stay the way they are, and they must be identical in order to be signed into law.

  Please contact your State Senator and Representative by following the Quick Link to "Find and Contact Your Legislators."  You may call, send an email, or write a letter.  Be sure to reference SF 2685 with your Senator and HF 3107 with your State Representative.  The most effective communication is sincere and individual.  Tell a story with a sentence explaining your interest in the bills.  Whether you are a stable owner, a horse boarder, or the parent of a horse-crazy child, make it clear that this is important legislation for horse boarding property that affects you personally.
