Requires all property taxes to be paid up to date to be registered as a Hoosier homestead property or to renew registration as a Hoosier homestead property. Provides with certain exceptions, that if a county, city, town, or school corporation (unit) exercises eminent domain to take a fee simple interest in a Hoosier homestead, the property owner is entitled to: (1) testify at a public meeting of the condemning unit's legislative body; and (2) compensation that is the greater of: (A) 200% of the fair market value of the parcel; or (2) 200% of the value of the land and replacement cost of the improvements to the land minus depreciation.
