LB 12 proposes the establishment of the School District Property Tax Relief Act, starting in the tax year 2024. This act would provide 
$560,700,000 million in relief, with an annual increase of $30 million starting in 2025. The collection fee for costs would offset the 
reduction in property taxes collected for the school district, resulting in no fiscal impact on the county.   
 
The bill incorporates some provisions of LB 388 (2024) with modifications. Specifically, the bill repeals the income tax credits for 
property taxes paid to schools under the Nebraska Property Tax Incentive Act, beginning in tax year 2024. 
 
Estimated General Fund revenue gained by repealing the income tax credit is $565,135,000 	million in FY25 and $649,373,000 million in 
FY26. The amounts required for the new school district 	property tax credit are assumed to 	be transferred to the newly created cash 
fund from the General Fund.

Explanation of Estimate: 
 
LB 12 would create the School District Property Tax Relief Act beginning in tax year 2024 and thereafter. 
 The relief granted would be over $560 million. For 2025 and each tax year after, the amount would be 
increased by $30 million. 
 
Because the collection fee for costs would equal the reduction in property taxes collected for the school 
district, there would be no fiscal impact to the county.
