PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 441.72, Code 2001, is amended to read
  1  2 as follows:
  1  3    441.72  ASSESSMENT OF PLATTED LOTS.
  1  4    When a subdivision plat is recorded pursuant to chapter
  1  5 354, the individual lots within the subdivision plat shall not
  1  6 be assessed in excess of the total assessment of the land as
  1  7 acreage or unimproved property for three years after the
  1  8 recording of the plat or until the lot is actually improved
  1  9 with permanent construction, whichever occurs first.  When an
  1 10 individual lot has been improved with permanent construction,
  1 11 the lot shall be assessed for taxation purposes as provided in
  1 12 chapter 428 and this chapter.  This section does not apply to
  1 13 special assessment levies.
  1 14    Sec. 2.  APPLICABILITY.  This Act applies to assessment
  1 15 years beginning on or after January 1, 2003.  
  1 16                           EXPLANATION
  1 17    Currently, a platted lot for which a subdivision plat has
  1 18 been recorded will be assessed for property tax purposes as
  1 19 acreage or unimproved property for three years or until the
  1 20 lot is actually improved with permanent construction,
  1 21 whichever occurs first.  This bill removes that time limit and
  1 22 provides that a platted lot will be assessed as acreage or
  1 23 unimproved property until the lot is actually improved with
  1 24 permanent construction.
  1 25    The bill applies to assessment years beginning on or after
  1 26 January 1, 2003.
