HB 1965 Fort Monroe Authority; payments to the City of Hampton in lieu of real property taxes.
Introduced by: Gordon C. Helsel, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles | history
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:
Fort Monroe Authority; payments to the City of Hampton in lieu of real property taxes. Provides that, for real estate leased by the Fort Monroe Authority (the Authority) to a private owner, such real estate shall be taxed by the City of Hampton as if it were privately owned and billed directly to the lessee. However, if the lease term is less than 20 years, Hampton shall bill the Authority. The bill provides that the Authority and its lessees may use existing procedures for contesting assessments and taxes. Current law provides that land owned by the Authority is subject to a fee in lieu of real property taxes, but is silent on the treatment of land leased by the Authority to a private party. The bill contains technical amendments. This bill is identical to SB 1089.
