FROM:
John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB645 by Orr (Relating to the information required to be included on a form for an application for an exemption from ad valorem taxation of property owned by a charitable organization.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Chapter 11 of the Tax Code, regarding property taxation and exemptions, to require that the exemption application forms prescribed by the Comptroller's Office allow charitable organization applicants to provide the organization’s federal tax identification number in lieu of a driver’s license number, personal identification certificate number, or a social security account number.
Because the bill is procedural in nature and does not affect property values, tax rates, or the amount of penalties paid to taxing units, there would be no cost to local taxing units or the state.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2011.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
