Bill Summary

Section 1 of the bill clarifies and expands the current property tax exemption for property acquired by nonprofit housing providers for low-income housing. The bill clarifies that property may qualify for the property tax exemption, through construction on the property, until the property is sold or transferred. The bill expands the definition of "low-income" applicants to include individuals or families who are at or below 100% of the area median income, rather than 80% of the area median income.Section 2 deems certain property held by community land trusts and nonprofit affordable homeownership developers to be used for a strictly charitable purpose, and to consequently be exempt from property taxation in accordance with the state constitution. To qualify for the exemption, the property must be split into a separate taxable parcel from the improvements on the property and leased to the owner of the improvements as an affordable homeownership property.
