FISCAL NOTE, 88TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 17, 2023

TO:
Honorable J. M. Lozano, Chair, House Committee on Urban Affairs
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB1634 by Walle (Relating to requirements for beneficial tax treatment related to a leasehold or other possessory interest in a public facility used to provide multifamily housing.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

However, the bill could create an indeterminate revenue gain to the State through the school funding formula by limiting the amount of property that would qualify for future property tax exemptions.

The bill would specify that the current property tax exemption for leaseholds or other possessory interest in a public facility applies to a public facility used to provide multifamily housing only if the public facility user meets specified low-income housing requirements.

According to the Comptroller of Public Accounts, the bill's provisions could limit the amount of property that would qualify for future property tax exemptions, creating a revenue gain to local taxing units and the State through the school funding formula. but the number and value of properties to which this might apply is unknown and cannot be estimated.

Local Government Impact

The bill could create an indeterminate revenue gain to local taxing units by limiting the amount of property that would qualify for future property tax exemptions.
