Bill Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 441.21, subsection 2, Code Supplement
  1  2 1999, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    2.  In the event market value of the property being
  1  4 assessed cannot be readily established in the foregoing
  1  5 manner, then the assessor may determine the value of the
  1  6 property using the other uniform and recognized appraisal
  1  7 methods including its productive and earning capacity, if any,
  1  8 industrial conditions, its cost, physical and functional
  1  9 depreciation and obsolescence and replacement cost, and all
  1 10 other factors which would assist in determining the fair and
  1 11 reasonable market value of the property but the actual value
  1 12 shall not be determined by use of only one such factor.  The
  1 13 following shall not be taken into consideration:  Special
  1 14 value or use value of the property to its present owner, and
  1 15 the good will or value of a business which uses the property
  1 16 as distinguished from the value of the property as property.
  1 17 However, in assessing property that is rented or leased to
  1 18 low-income individuals and families under a governmental
  1 19 contract for affordable housing which contains units covered
  1 20 by an Internal Revenue Code, section 42 tax credit land
  1 21 covenant and which limits the amount that the individual or
  1 22 family may be required to pay for the rental or lease of the
  1 23 property, the assessor shall use the productive and earning
  1 24 capacity method of appraisal and shall take into account the
  1 25 extent to which that use and limitation reduces the market
  1 26 value of the property.  Upon adoption of uniform rules by the
  1 27 revenue department or succeeding authority covering
  1 28 assessments and valuations of such properties, said valuation
  1 29 on such properties shall be determined in accordance therewith
  1 30 for assessment purposes to assure uniformity, but such rules
  1 31 shall not be inconsistent with or change the foregoing means
  1 32 of determining the actual, market, taxable and assessed
  1 33 values.  
  1 34                           EXPLANATION
  1 35    This bill provides that property, which is rented or leased
  2  1 to low-income families for use as habitation under a
  2  2 governmental contract for affordable housing covered by a tax
  2  3 credit land covenant that limits the amount of rent or lease
  2  4 payments required, shall be valued on its earning capacity and
  2  5 its restricted use in arriving at market value for purposes of
  2  6 property tax assessments.
