Small County PILT Parity Act

This bill, called the Small County PILT Parity Act, would change how payments for very small local governments are calculated. It adds more population tiers for “low‑population units of general local government” and lowers the smallest population threshold in the law from 5,000 people to 1,000. These changes are meant to better reflect the needs of places with very few residents.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Low‑population local governments, including small counties.
• What changes: More population tiers are added, and the minimum tier changes from 5,000 to 1,000 people, which adjusts how payments are figured for these areas.
• When: Would take effect if enacted into law.
