Distressed Unit Appeals Board
The Distressed Unit Appeals Board (DUAB) was established to receive petitions from political subdivisions that are expected to have a reduction in their property tax collections of at least five percent (5%) in a calendar year as a result of the Circuit Breaker caps on property tax bills.
If the fiscal body of a distressed political subdivision submits a petition, the DUAB is required to review the petition and assist in establishing a financial plan for the distressed political subdivision.
Due to the property tax caps being added to the Constitution in November 2010, the DUAB no longer has the authority to review petitions for relief.
