According to people I have talked to they feel it won't get support, however it seems to solve a lot of the issues the no voters have. I proposed a primary residence cut of all property tax, however If it is a second home or vacation home it will be taxed at the current mil system. If your primary dwelling is also used as a daycare or some other business that is run from that residence, that you profit off it will get taxed. If your land is being rented/leased or used for agriculture it will get taxed. However if you have land and use it as a hobby farm where you have a couple livestock for your personal use, and you are not realizing any notable income from them, any crops, rent, or hunting lease. That property, if it also houses a primary dwelling will be property tax free.  If you are a farmer or rancher your house/farm/ranch headquarters will be property tax free but your land that is being used to make income will be taxed at the current rate.Basically if you make money off of the property in question or it is a vacation/second/rental property it gets taxed. I was told that this wouldn't get the backing of small business, farmers, ranchers, as well as the big business money that would run it into the dirt for the fear of having to pick up the tab for the loss of revenue from personal primary dwellings. Personally i think it would be great, it would still tax large ag, big business, as well as out of state interest in our state. Also it would give you the chance to outright own your actual primary residence, also it would have to have a section to disallow foreclosure from specials and merely put a lien on said property if delinquent.</blockquote>
