What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the common council of a city may create a housing authority.

A housing authority may exercise a variety of powers generally related to increasing

the availability of safe and sanitary dwelling accommodations for persons of low

income. Currently, the property of a housing authority is exempt from state and local

taxes. This bill specifies that for purposes of this exemption property of an authority

includes property in which an authority or an entity in which the authority holds an

ownership interest holds a partial ownership interest if the property is held either

as part of a financing or equity plan that includes state or federal tax credits,

financing, funding, or rent subsidy or for a purpose related to the conversion of a

housing project to a rental or housing assistance program under a contract with the

federal government.
