LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD
Austin, Texas
 
FISCAL NOTE, 88TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 9, 2023

TO:
Honorable J. M. Lozano, Chair, House Committee on Urban Affairs
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2071 by Jetton (relating to certain public facilities used to provide affordable housing.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

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 lower income and medium income housing occupancy requirements.

The bill would exempt materials used by a person receiving a current property tax exemption for leaseholds or other possessory interest in a public facility to improve the real property of the public facility from all sales and use taxes.

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.
