What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, all real and personal property of a housing facility is exempt
from the property tax if all of the following apply:
1. The facility is owned by a nonprofit organization.
2. At least 90 percent of the facility's residents are students enrolled at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison and the facility houses no more than 300 such
students.
3. The facility offers support services and outreach programs to its residents,
the public or private institution of higher education at which the student residents
are enrolled, and the public.
Under this bill, the property tax exemption does not apply to housing facilities
owned by fraternities and sororities.
Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be
referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed
as an appendix to the bill.
