STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RS 11477 This bill relates to property taxes and the new construction roll. Property is added to the new construction roll when there is a "change of status" such as when previously exempt property becomes taxable. Currently, only the value of the land is added to the new construction roll. This bill provides that the value to be added will be the value of the "real property." This will cause both the value of the land and any buildings or other structures on the land to be included. FISCAL IMPACT A few taxing districts will receive a small increase in budget authority when previously exempt property becomes taxable.
