For taxes levied after December 31, 1997, the assessment roll for each tax year shall be corrected to reflect that improvements to real property assessed on that tax roll as partially completed new construction and the land on which the improvements are located are exempt from the collection of taxes under this act if the improvements and the land on which the improvements are located are determined to be exempt from taxes collected under this act on tax day in the year construction of the improvements was completed and the property was put to use.

For each tax year in which the tax roll is corrected under subsection (1) or (2), a corrected tax bill shall be issued by the local tax collecting unit if the local tax collecting unit has possession of the tax roll or by the county treasurer if the county has possession of the tax roll. If granting the exemption under this section results in an overpayment of the tax, a rebate, including any interest and penalties paid, shall be made to the taxpayer by the local tax collecting unit if the local tax collecting unit has possession of the tax roll or by the county treasurer if the county has possession of the tax roll within 30 days of the date the exemption is granted. The rebate shall be without interest.
