What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a municipality (any city, village, or town) may create a

neighborhood improvement district (NID), upon being petitioned to do so by an

owner of real property that is located in the proposed NID, if a number of steps are

taken. In general, a NID is an area within a municipality consisting of parcels that

are nearby to one another, but not necessarily contiguous, at least some of which are

used for residential purposes and are subject to general real estate taxes, and also

may include property that is acquired and owned by the NID board. If a NID is

created under an approved operating plan, the municipality may impose special

assessments on real property located within the NID to provide for the development,

redevelopment, maintenance, operation, and promotion of the NID, except that

special assessments may not be imposed on any parcel of real property that is used

exclusively for less than eight residential dwelling units and real property that is

exempted from general property taxes.

Under this bill, the limitation on the type of property upon which a special

assessment may be imposed applies only to real property that is exempted from

general property taxes.
