What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill eliminates the property tax on personal property beginning in 2020.
The bill also eliminates, in 2016, the state aid payments to taxing jurisdictions based
on the value of computers and computer-related equipment that are exempt from the
personal property tax and that are located in the taxing jurisdictions.
Under the bill, personal property placed in service on or after January 1, 2016,
is not subject to the property tax. Personal property placed in service before January
1, 2016, is subject to the property tax based on the actual depreciated value of the
property.
Beginning with the assessments as of January 1, 2020, no personal property is
subject to the property tax. Under the bill, real property that was assessed as
personal property prior to January 1, 2020, will be assessed as real property and real
property placed in service on or after January 1, 2020, that would have been assessed
as personal property prior to that date will be assessed as real property.
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.
