Amend the bill in section 1 in subsection 2 by striking out all of the 2nd paragraph (page 1, lines 11 to 13 in L.D.) and inserting the following:
‘ As used in this subsection, "primary residence" means the home, appurtenant structures necessary to support the home and acreage sufficient to satisfy the minimum lot size as required by the municipality's land use or building permit ordinance or regulations or, in the absence of any municipal minimum lot size requirement, as required by Title 12, section 4807-A.’
summary
This amendment revises the definition of "primary residence" as provided in the bill for the purpose of determining abatement of property taxes based on hardship or poverty by specifying that the acreage must satisfy the minimum lot size required by the municipality or, if the municipality has no minimum lot size requirement, the minimum lot size required under the realty subdivision laws.
