Provides that a property owner may submit a property tax exemption application before September 1, 2019, for any real and personal property: (1) for which an exemption application was filed after April 1, 2017, and before April 10, 2017; and (2) that would have been eligible for a property tax exemption if an exemption application had been properly and timely filed for the real and personal property. Specifies that if a property owner files such an exemption application, the property tax exemption shall be allowed and granted for the January 1, 2017, assessment date, and the property owner is entitled to a refund for any taxes, penalties, and interest paid with respect to the property for that assessment date.
