Nebraska property owners to get tax credit notification

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska property owners will soon get a statement in the mail telling them how much money the state has spent to reduce their property tax burden.

Gov. Pete Ricketts and Speaker of the Legislature Galen Hadley announced Tuesday that the state will send more than 700,000 tax relief notices to property owners.

The postcards will highlight the property tax measures approved by Ricketts and the Legislature earlier this year. The package included $408 million over two years for Nebraska's property tax credit fund, which uses state money to offset what owners pay in local property taxes.

Ricketts says the move is designed to help people understand what the state has done so far to lower property taxes.
