    • Changes to assessment methods or valuation cycles
    • New or revised exemptions, credits, or caps
    • Transitional rules for properties affected by rate changes
    • Effective dates and applicability to different classes of property
  • Important: These are common features of property-rate revision bills, not confirmed elements of LC 1878.
