| 15 | homestead property shall be assessed as provided for by general |

| 26 | provisions of this amendment. |
| 27 | (7) When a person sells his or her homestead property |

| 35 | value and its assessed value in the year of sale. In addition, |
| 36 | to be assessed as provided in this paragraph, the assessed value |
| 37 | of the new homestead must equal or exceed the assessed value of |
