Mobile County Local Amendment 1
What does this measure do?
Freezes the assessed home value used to tax Mobile County homeowners age 65 or older who have lived there at least five years, and raises the income limit for a senior homestead tax break to $50,000. Eligible homeowners would pay less property tax when values rise; tax rates could still change.
