What’s in it

1 specifies that for the purposes of property taxation only, certain property shall be assessed and taxed, unless otherwise qualified for exemption, as real property, including buildings, structures, or improvements, any of which are constructed on or in the land, attached to the land, or placed upon a foundation whether or not attached to the foundation. However, property is not “attached” if it is a kind of property which would ordinarily be removed when the owner of the property moves to another location.

Fiscal note

AI summary This bill exempts aboveground storage tanks of any size from property taxes if they are not attached to real property. If the change applies to all currently taxed tanks, it is projected to increase the annual State General Fund appropriation for school aid by $1.6 million and decrease annual local government property tax revenue by $8.6 million starting in fiscal year 2025. Owners of these tanks would see a projected decrease in annual property taxes of $10.2 million.2

From the note: The Bill will increase the annual State General Fund appropriation for school aid and decrease annual local government property tax revenue, although the level of impact cannot be projected without knowledge as to how the law change will be implemented by the Department of Revenue and local assessors.
