House Study Bill 767

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 a land covenant and which limits the amount that the
  1 21 individual or family may be required to pay for the rental or
  1 22 lease of the property, the assessor shall use the productive
  1 23 and earning capacity method of appraisal and shall take into
  1 24 account the extent to which the contractual use and limitation
  1 25 reduces the market value of the property.  However, the
  1 26 assessor shall not take into account any tax credits or other
  1 27 subsidized financing provided in relation to the property in
  1 28 determining the assessed value.  Upon adoption of uniform
  1 29 rules by the revenue department or succeeding authority
  1 30 covering assessments and valuations of such properties, said
  1 31 valuation on such properties shall be determined in accordance
  1 32 therewith for assessment purposes to assure uniformity, but
  1 33 such rules shall not be inconsistent with or change the
  1 34 foregoing means of determining the actual, market, taxable and
  1 35 assessed values.  
  2  1                           EXPLANATION
  2  2    This bill provides that property, which is rented or leased
  2  3 to low-income families for use as habitation under a
  2  4 governmental contract for affordable housing covered by a land
  2  5 covenant that limits the amount of rent or lease payments
  2  6 required, shall be valued on its earning capacity and its
  2  7 restricted use in arriving at market value for purposes of
  2  8 property tax assessments.  The fact that the owner or builder
  2  9 received tax credits or subsidized financing for the housing
  2 10 is not to be taken into account in determining assessed value.
