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.
Read the full explanation
This bill provides that aboveground storage tanks with a capacity of 91,000 gallons or less, no matter the use or intended use in the subject property, shall not be assessed and taxed as real property.7.7 provides that for a property tax credit or exemption enacted on or after January 1, 1997, if a state appropriation made to fund the credit or exemption is not sufficient to fully fund the credit or exemption, the political subdivision shall be required to extend to the taxpayer only that portion of the credit or exemption estimated by the department of revenue to be funded by the state appropriation. The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies retroactively to assessment years beginning on or after January 1, 2025.
