What it does
This bill relates to property taxation for commercial child care centers and facilities.21(5) determines the amount of actual value of commercial property that is subject to property tax. The amount is the sum of the residential assessment limitation to the portion of the property’s value that does not exceed $150,000 plus percent of the property’s value in excess of $150,000. The bill excludes property primarily used as a child care center or child care facility from that determination and instead specifies that for assessment years beginning on or after January 1, 2023, the amount of actual value of such properties that is subject to property tax and for which an application has been allowed is equal to the product of the assessment limitation percentage applicable to residential property multiplied by the actual value of the property.
