HF 1050: Relating to the assessment of property containing certain aboveground storage tanks and including effective date and retroactive applicability provisions

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

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.
