S.F. 354 eliminates the separate penalty rates for late payment of property taxes for homestead and nonhomestead property, so that both types property are now subject to the same uniform rate. The amendment specifies that no penalty shall accrue if the property tax payment is delivered by mail to the county treasurer, and the envelope containing payment is postmarked within two business days prescribed under this section.
The new penalty rate for both properties is as follows:
