What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, for property tax purposes, "real property" includes land and all buildings and improvements on the land and all fixtures and rights and privileges related to the real property. Under this bill, "real property" does not include permits and licenses related to real property.
Under current law, money and intangible personal property, including credit, checks, share drafts, notes, bonds, stocks, and other written instruments, are exempt from property taxes. The bill clarifies that permits and licenses are also intangible personal property for purposes of the property tax exemption for money and intangible personal property.
