The last legislature enacted broad tax measures affecting general property, special assessments, inheritance, franchise, excise, insurance, and motor vehicle taxes. A November referendum seeks to abolish the uniform rule and cap property tax rates at 15 miles while permitting new levies by voter approval.

Delinquent special assessments gain an extended penalty, and early payment changes apply. Highway paving taxation shifts require majority owner consent and frontage thresholds for new assessments.
