24
included
all
kinds
and
character
of
property
in
the
25
determination
of
actual

of
a

property.
26
Instead,
the
bill
provides
that
for
assessment
years
beginning
27
on
or
after
January
1,
2013,
a
company’s
property,
excluding

shall
be
subject
to

assessment
and

under

by
the
director
31
of
revenue
in
the

manner
as

The

however,
that

the

12
Division

The

9
Division

of
the
bill
establishes
a
business
property

For
the
fiscal

the
11
bill
appropriates

the
general

of
the

13
For

and
each
fiscal
14
year
thereafter,
the
bill
appropriates
from
the
general
fund
15
of
the
state
to
the
department
of
revenue
for
deposit
in
the
16
fund
an
amount
equal
to
the

In
18

after
July
1,
2014,
19
the
bill
appropriates
an
additional
$25

20
if
the

certifies
that
the
total

amount
of
general
fund
revenues
has
grown
by
at
least
3

22
as

The

however,
that
the
total
appropriation
to
the
fund
shall
not
24
exceed
$125
million
in
any
one
fiscal

Under
the
bill,
25
interest

are
26
credited
to
the

moneys

30
Division

of
the
bill
provides
that
each
person
who
31
wishes
to
claim
a
business
property
tax
credit
shall
obtain
32
the
appropriate
forms
from
the
assessor
and
file
the
claim
33
with
the
assessor.
The
director
of
revenue
is
required
to
34
prescribe
suitable
forms
and

for
such
claims,
and
35
-34-

make
such
forms
and

1
The
assessor
is
required
to
remit
the
claims
for
credit
to
the
2
county
auditor
with
the
assessor’s
recommendation
for
allowance
3
or
disallowance.
If
the
assessor
recommends
disallowance
4
of
a
claim,
the
assessor
shall
submit
the
reasons
for
the
5
recommendation,
in
writing,
to
the
county
auditor.
The
county
6
auditor
then
forwards
the
claims
to
the
board
of
supervisors.
7
The
board
is
required
to
allow
or
disallow
the
claims.
If
8
the
board
of
supervisors
disallows
a
claim
for
a
credit,
the
9
board
of
supervisors
is
required
to
send
written
notice,

mail,
to
the
claimant
and
the
notice
must
state
the
reasons
for
11
disallowing
the
claim
for
the
credit.
Any
person
whose
claim
12
for
credit
is
denied
may
appeal
from
the
action
of
the
board
of
13
supervisors
to
the
district

15
Claims

the
business
property
tax
credit
must
be
filed
16
not
later

preceding
the
fiscal
year
during
which
17
the
property

for
which
the
credit
is
claimed
are
due
18
and
payable.
However,
the
deadline
for
filing

due
and
payable
in
the
fiscal
year
beginning
20
July
1,
2013,
is
January
15,
2013.
21
Upon
the
filing
of
a
claim
and
allowance
of
a
business
22
property
tax
credit,
the
credit
is
allowed
on
the
parcel
or
23
property
unit
for
successive
years
without
further
filing
as
24
long
as
the
parcel
or
property
unit
satisfies
the
requirements
25
for
the
credit.
The
owner
is
required
to
provide
written
26
notice
to
the
assessor
when
the
parcel
or
property
unit
ceases
27
to
qualify
for
the
credit.
The
bill
requires
the
assessor
to
28
maintain
a
permanent
file
of
current
credits
and
also
specifies
29
certain
requirements
for
parcel

The

common
use
and
purpose.
A
person
7
may
only
claim
and
receive
one
tax
credit
for
each

8
unit.
A
credit
approved
for
a
property
unit
is
allocated
to
9
the
several
parcels
within
the
property
unit
in
the
proportion
10
that
each
parcel’s
property
tax
liability
bears
to
the
total
11
property
tax
liability
for
the

Only

The

for
each
parcel
or
property
unit
for
which
a
8
claim
for
a
business
property

credit
has
been

calculated
using

and
the

the

The
amount
of

is
then
calculated
by
multiplying
the

lesser

of

so
determined,
by
the
difference

The

remit
the

with
the

shall
submit
the

the
10
recommendation,
in

The

then

The

If

19
Division

of

requires
the

20
to
calculate,

tax
21
credit
percentage
for
use
in
determining
the
amount
of
the
22
credit
for
each

The
department
first
must
23
calculate
for
each
eligible
parcel
the
product
of
the
assessed
24
value
of
the
parcel
multiplied
by
the

levy
rate
25
per
$1,000

The

27
then
must
calculate
the

of
all
such

calculated
28
for

The
enterprise

tax
credit
29
percentage
shall
be

33
Division

of

provides
that
the

The

for
credit,
specifies
the
requirements
and
procedures
15
for
an

a
