Status: in_force

September 29, 2013 House Bill 59 - 130th General Assembly A lake facilities authority at any time may issue lake facilities authority revenue bonds in such principal amounts as, in the opinion of the lake facilities authority, are necessary for the purpose of paying the cost of one or more lake facilities authority facilities or parts thereof. A lake facilities authority at any time may issue renewal notes, issue bonds to retire its notes and, whenever it considers refunding expedient, refund any bonds by the issuance of lake facilities authority revenue refunding bonds, whether the bonds to be refunded have or have not matured, and issue lake facilities authority revenue bonds partly to refund outstanding bonds and partly for any other authorized purpose. The lake facilities authority revenue refunding bonds shall be sold and the proceeds applied to the purchase, redemption, or payment of the bonds to be refunded. Lake facilities authority revenue bonds shall be special obligations of the lake facilities authority payable out of the revenues of the lake facilities authority that are pledged for such payment. The pledge shall be valid and binding from the time the pledge is made and the revenues so pledged and thereafter received by the lake facilities authority immediately shall be subject to the lien of the pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further act, and the lien of the pledge is valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract, or otherwise against the lake facilities authority, irrespective of whether those parties have notice thereof. Neither the resolution nor any trust agreement by which a pledge is created need be filed or recorded except in the records of the lake facilities authority. Whether or not the lake facilities authority revenue bonds are of such form and character as to be negotiable instruments, the lake facilities authority revenue bonds shall have all the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments, subject only to the provisions of the bonds for registration. The lake facilities authority revenue bonds shall be authorized by resolution of the lake facilities authority, and shall bear interest at such rate or rates, shall bear such date or dates, and shall mature at such time or times, and in such number of installments as may be provided in or pursuant to that resolution. The final maturity of any lake facilities authority revenue bond in the form of a note and any renewals thereof shall not exceed five years from the date of issue of the original note. The final maturity of any issue of lake facilities authority revenue bonds shall not be later than forty-five years from the date of issue of the original issue of bonds. Any such bonds or notes shall be executed in a manner as the resolution or resolutions may provide. The lake facilities authority revenue bonds shall be in such denominations, be in such form, either coupon or registered, carry such registration privileges, be payable in such medium of payment, at such place or places, and be subject to such terms of redemption as may be provided in or pursuant to the resolution authorizing their issuance. Lake facilities authority revenue bonds of the lake facilities authority may be sold by the lake facilities authority, at public or private sale, at or at not less than a price or prices as the lake facilities authority determines. In case any officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on any bonds, notes, or coupons, ceases to be such officer before delivery of bonds or notes, the signature or facsimile shall nevertheless be sufficient for all purposes the same as if the officer had remained in office until such delivery, and in case the seal of the lake facilities authority has been changed after a facsimile has been imprinted on such bonds or notes, the facsimile seal will continue to be sufficient for all purposes. Any resolution or resolutions authorizing any lake facilities authority revenue bonds or any issue of bonds may contain provisions, subject to any agreements with bondholders as may then exist, which provisions shall be a part of the contract with the holders of bonds, as to the pledging of all or any part of the revenues of the lake facilities authority to secure the payment of the lake facilities authority bonds or of any issue of the bonds; the use and disposition of revenues of the lake facilities authority; a covenant to fix, alter, and collect rentals and other charges so that pledged revenues will be sufficient to pay costs of operation, maintenance, and repairs, pay principal of and interest on bonds secured by the pledge of such revenues, and provide any reserves that may be required by the applicable resolution or trust agreement; the setting aside of reserve funds, sinking funds, or replacement and improvement funds and the regulation and disposition thereof; the crediting of the proceeds of the sale of bonds to and among the funds referred to or provided for in or pursuant to the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or notes; the use, lease, sale, or other disposition of any lake facilities authority facility or any other assets of the lake facilities authority; limitations on the purpose to which the proceeds of sale of bonds may be applied and the pledging of those proceeds to secure the payment of the bonds or of any issue of the bonds; as to notes issued in anticipation of the issuance of bonds, the agreement of the lake facilities authority to do all things necessary for the authorization, issuance, and sale of the bonds in amounts that may be necessary for the timely retirement of the notes; limitations on the issuance of additional bonds; the terms upon which additional bonds may be issued and secured; the refunding of outstanding bonds; the procedure, if any, by which the terms of any contract with bondholders may be amended or abrogated, the amount of bonds the holders of which must consent thereto, and the manner in which such consent may be given; limitations on the amount of moneys to be expended by the lake facilities authority for operating, administrative, or other expenses of the lake facilities authority; securing any bonds or notes by a trust agreement; and any other matters, of like or different character, that in any way affect the security or protection of the bonds or notes. Neither the board of directors of the lake facilities authority nor any person executing the bonds shall be liable personally on the bonds or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance thereof. The issuance of lake facilities authority revenue bonds under this section need not comply with any other law applicable to the issuance of bonds or notes.

§ 323.72. Answer - hearing on or dismissal of complaint
Status: in_force

September 4, 2014 Senate Bill 172 - 130th General Assembly (A)(1) At any time after a complaint is filed under section 323.69 of the Revised Code, and before a decree of foreclosure is entered, the record owner or another person having a legal or equitable ownership interest in the abandoned land may plead only that the impositions shown by the notice to be due and outstanding have been paid in full or are invalid or inapplicable in whole or in part, and may raise issues pertaining to service of process and the parcel's status as abandoned land. (2) At any time before a decree of foreclosure is filed under section 323.69 of the Revised Code, a lienholder or another person having a security interest of record in the abandoned land may plead either of the following: (a) That the impositions shown by the notice to be due and outstanding have been paid in full; (b) Subject to division (C) of this section, that in order to preserve the lienholder's or other person's security interest of record in the land, the abandoned land should not be disposed of as provided in sections 323.65 to 323.79 of the Revised Code and the case should be transferred to a court pursuant to section 323.691 of the Revised Code. (B) If the record owner or another person having a legal or equitable ownership interest in a parcel of abandoned land files a pleading with the county board of revision under division (A)(1) of this section, or if a lienholder or another person having a security interest of record in the abandoned land files a pleading with the board under division (A)(2) of this section that asserts that the impositions have been paid in full, the board shall schedule a hearing for a date not sooner than thirty days, and not later than ninety days, after the board receives the pleading. Upon scheduling the hearing, the board shall notify the person that filed the pleading and all interested parties, other than parties in default, of the date, time, and place of the hearing, and shall conduct the hearing. The only questions to be considered at the hearing are the amount and validity of all or a portion of the impositions, whether those impositions have in fact been paid in full, and, under division (A)(1) of this section, whether valid issues pertaining to service of process and the parcel's status as abandoned land have been raised. If the record owner, lienholder, or other person shows by a preponderance of the evidence that all impositions against the parcel have been paid, the board shall dismiss the complaint and remove the parcel of abandoned land from the abandoned land list, and that land shall not be offered for sale or otherwise conveyed under sections 323.65 to 323.79 of the Revised Code. If the record owner, lienholder, or other person fails to appear, or appears and fails to show by a preponderance of the evidence that all impositions against the parcel have been paid, the board shall proceed in the manner prescribed in section 323.73 of the Revised Code. A hearing under this division may be consolidated with any final hearing on the matter under section 323.70 of the Revised Code. If the board determines that the impositions have been paid, then the board, on its own motion, may dismiss the case without a hearing. (C) If a lienholder or another person having a security interest of record in the abandoned land, other than the owner, timely files a pleading under division (A)(2)(b) of this section requesting that the abandoned land not be disposed of as provided in sections 323.65 to 323.79 of the Revised Code and the complaint be transferred to a court pursuant to section 323.691 of the Revised Code in order to preserve the lienholder's or other person's security interest, the county board of revision may approve the request if the board finds that the sale or other conveyance of the parcel of land under sections 323.65 to 323.79 of the Revised Code would unreasonably jeopardize the lienholder's or other person's ability to enforce the security interest or to otherwise preserve the lienholder's or other person's security interest. The board may conduct a hearing on the request and make a ruling based on the available and submitted evidence of the parties. If the board approves the request without a hearing, the board shall file the decision with the clerk of court, and the clerk shall send a notice of the decision to the lienholder or other person by ordinary mail. In order for a lienholder or other person having a security interest to show for purposes of this division that the parcel of abandoned land should not be disposed of pursuant to sections 323.65 to 323.78 of the Revised Code and the complaint should be transferred to a court pursuant to section 323.691 of the Revised Code in order "to preserve the lienholder's or other person's security interest," the lienholder or other person must first make a minimum showing by a preponderance of the evidence pursuant to section 323.71 of the Revised Code that the impositions against the parcel of abandoned land do not exceed the fair market value of the abandoned land as determined by the auditor's then-current valuation of that parcel, which valuation is presumed, subject to rebuttal, to be the fair market value of the land. If the lienholder or other person having a security interest makes the minimum showing, the board of revision may consider the request and make a ruling based on the available and submitted evidence of the parties. If the lienholder or other person having a security interest fails to make the minimum showing, the board of revision shall deny the request. (D) If a pleading as described in division (B) or (C) of this section is filed and the county board of revision approves a request made under those divisions, regardless of whether a hearing is conducted under division (C) of this section, the board shall dismiss the complaint in the case of pleadings described in division (B) of this section or transfer the complaint to a court in the case of pleadings described in division (C) of this section. If the county board of revision does not dismiss the complaint in the case of pleadings described in division (B) of this section or does not approve a request to transfer to a court as described in division (C) of this section after conducting a hearing, the board shall proceed with the final hearing prescribed in section 323.70 of the Revised Code and file its decision on the complaint for foreclosure with the clerk of court. The clerk shall send written notice of the decision to the parties by ordinary mail or by certified mail, return receipt requested. If the board renders a decision ordering the foreclosure and forfeiture of the parcel of abandoned land, the parcel shall be disposed of under section 323.73 of the Revised Code.

§ 351.021. Levying excise taxes on lodging transactions
Status: in_force

September 30, 2021 House Bill 110 - 134th General Assembly (A) The resolution of the county commissioners creating a convention facilities authority, or any amendment or supplement to that resolution, may authorize the authority to levy one or both of the excise taxes authorized by division (B) of this section to pay the cost of one or more facilities; to pay principal, interest, and premium on convention facilities authority tax anticipation bonds issued to pay those costs; to pay the operating costs of the authority; to pay operating and maintenance costs of those facilities; and to pay the costs of administering the excise tax. (B) The board of directors of a convention facilities authority that has been authorized pursuant to resolution adopted, amended, or supplemented by the board of county commissioners pursuant to division (A) of this section may levy, by resolution adopted on or before December 31, 1988, either or both of the following: (1) Within the territory of the authority, an additional excise tax not to exceed four per cent on each transaction. The excise tax authorized by division (B)(1) of this section shall be in addition to any excise tax levied pursuant to section 5739.08 or 5739.09 of the Revised Code, or division (B)(2) of this section. (2) Within that portion of any municipal corporation that is located within the territory of the authority or within the boundaries of any township that is located within the territory of the authority, which municipal corporation or township is levying any portion of the excise tax authorized by division (A) of section 5739.08 of the Revised Code, and with the approval, by ordinance or resolution, of the legislative authority of that municipal corporation or township, an additional excise tax not to exceed nine-tenths of one per cent on each transaction. The excise tax authorized by division (B)(2) of this section may be levied only if, on the effective date of the levy specified in the resolution making the levy, the amount being levied pursuant to division (A) of section 5739.08 of the Revised Code by each municipal corporation or township in which the tax authorized by division (B)(2) of this section will be levied, when added to the amount levied under division (B)(2) of this section, does not exceed three per cent on each transaction. The excise tax authorized by division (B)(2) of this section shall be in addition to any excise tax that is levied pursuant to section 5739.08 or 5739.09 of the Revised Code, or division (B)(1) of this section. (C)(1) The board of directors of a convention facilities authority that is located in an eligible Appalachian county; that has been authorized pursuant to resolution adopted, amended, or supplemented by the board of county commissioners pursuant to division (A) of this section; and that is not levying a tax under division (B)(1) or (2) of this section may levy within the territory of the authority, by resolution adopted on or before December 31, 2005, an additional excise tax not to exceed three per cent on each transaction. The excise tax authorized under division (C)(1) of this section shall be in addition to any excise tax levied pursuant to section 5739.08 or 5739.09 of the Revised Code. As used in division (C)(1) of this section, "eligible Appalachian county" means a county in this state designated as being in the "Appalachian region" under the "Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965," 79 Stat. 4, 40 U.S.C. App. 403, and having a population less than eighty thousand according to the most recent federal decennial census. (2) Division (C)(2) of this section applies only to a convention facilities authority located in a county with a population, according to the 2000 federal decennial census, of at least one hundred thirty-five thousand and not more than one hundred fifty thousand and containing entirely within its boundaries the territory of a municipal corporation with a population according to that census of more than fifty thousand. The board of directors of such a convention facilities authority, by resolution adopted on or before November 1, 2009, may levy within the territory of the authority an excise tax on transactions by which lodging by a hotel is or is to be furnished to transient guests at a rate not to exceed three per cent on such transactions for the same purposes for which a tax may be levied under division (B) of this section. The resolution may be adopted only if the board of county commissioners of the county, by resolution, authorizes the levy of the tax. The resolution of the board of county commissioners is subject to referendum as prescribed by sections 305.31 to 305.41 of the Revised Code. If, pursuant to those procedures, a referendum is to be held, the board's resolution does not take effect until approved by a majority of electors voting on the question. The convention facilities authority may adopt the resolution authorized by division (C)(2) of this section before the election, but the authority's resolution shall not take effect if the board of commissioners' resolution is not approved at the election. A tax levied under division (C)(2) of this section is in addition to any tax levied under section 5739.09 of the Revised Code. The board of directors of a convention facilities authority that levies an excise tax under division (C)(2) of this section may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the members of the board on or before November 1, 2021, amend the resolution levying the tax to increase the rate of the tax by not more than an additional one per cent on each transaction. The resolution shall provide that all revenue from the increase in rate shall be used for the same purposes for which a tax may be levied under division (B) of this section. The resolution may be adopted only if the board of county commissioners of the county, by resolution, authorizes the rate increase. (3) The board of directors of a convention facilities authority created between July 1, 2019, and December 31, 2019, by resolution adopted on or before December 30, 2020, may levy within the territory of the authority an excise tax on transactions by which lodging by a hotel is or is to be furnished to transient guests at a rate not to exceed three per cent on such transactions for the purposes described in division (A) of this section. This tax shall be in addition to any excise tax levied pursuant to this section or section 5739.08 or 5739.09 of the Revised Code. The resolution levying the tax shall not take effect sooner than ninety days after the convention facilities authority is created. (D) The authority shall provide for the administration and allocation of an excise tax levied pursuant to division (B) or (C) of this section. All receipts arising from those excise taxes shall be expended for the purposes provided in, and in accordance with this section and section 351.141 of the Revised Code. An excise tax levied under division (B) or (C) of this section shall remain in effect at the rate at which it is levied for at least the duration of the period for which the receipts from the tax have been anticipated and pledged pursuant to section 351.141 of the Revised Code. (E) Except as provided in division (B)(2) of this section, the levy of an excise tax on each transaction pursuant to sections 5739.08 and 5739.09 of the Revised Code does not prevent a convention facilities authority from levying an excise tax pursuant to division (B) or (C) of this section. (F) A convention facilities authority located in a county with a population greater than eighty thousand but less than ninety thousand according to the 2010 federal decennial census that levies a tax under division (B) of this section may amend the resolution levying the tax to allocate a portion of the revenue from the tax for support of tourism-related sites or facilities and programs operated by the county or a municipal corporation within the county in which the authority is located or for the purpose of leasing lands for county fairs, erecting buildings for county fair purposes, making improvements on a county fairground, or for any purpose connected with the use of a county fairground or with the management thereof by the county in which the authority is located. The revenue allocated by the authority for such purposes in a calendar year shall not exceed twenty-five per cent of the total revenue from the tax in the preceding calendar year. Revenue allocated for such purposes that is not fully used by the end of the calendar year may be carried forward for use in subsequent calendar years. Any amount carried forward does not count toward the limitation on the amount that may be allocated for such purposes in succeeding calendar years. Last updated August 4, 2021 at 10:57 AM

The abandoned land shall be sold to the highest bidder. The county sheriff or designee may reject any and all bids not meeting the minimum bid requirements specified in this division. (C) Except as otherwise permitted under section 323.74 of the Revised Code, the successful bidder at a public auction conducted under this section shall pay the sheriff of the county or a designee of the sheriff a deposit of at least ten per cent of the purchase price in cash, or by bank draft or official bank check, at the time of the public auction, and shall pay the balance of the purchase price within thirty days after the day on which the auction was held. At the time of the public auction and before the successful bidder pays the deposit, the sheriff or a designee of the sheriff may provide notice to the successful bidder that failure to pay the balance of the purchase price within the prescribed period shall be considered a default under the terms of the sale and shall result in retention of the deposit as payment for the costs associated with advertising and offering the abandoned land for sale at a future public auction. If such a notice is provided to the successful bidder and the bidder fails to pay the balance of the purchase price within the prescribed period, the sale shall be deemed rejected by the county board of revision due to default, and the sheriff shall retain the full amount of the deposit. In such a case, rejection of the sale shall occur automatically without any action necessary on the part of the sheriff, county prosecuting attorney, or board. If the amount retained by the sheriff is less than the total costs of advertising and offering the abandoned land for sale at a future public auction, the sheriff or county prosecuting attorney may initiate an action to recover the amount of any deficiency from the bidder in the court of common pleas of the county or in a municipal court with jurisdiction. Following a default and rejection of sale under this division, the abandoned land involved in the rejected sale shall be disposed of in accordance with sections 323.65 to 323.79 of the Revised Code or as otherwise prescribed by law. The defaulting bidder, any member of the bidder's immediate family, any person with a power of attorney granted by the bidder, and any pass-through entity, trust, corporation, association, or other entity directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the bidder or a member of the defaulting bidder's immediate family shall be prohibited from bidding on the abandoned land at any future public auction for five years from the date of the bidder's default. Notwithstanding section 321.261 of the Revised Code, with respect to any proceedings initiated pursuant to sections 323.65 to 323.79 of the Revised Code, from the total proceeds arising from the sale, transfer, or redemption of abandoned land, twenty per cent of such proceeds shall be deposited to the credit of the county treasurer's delinquent tax and assessment collection fund to reimburse the fund for costs paid from the fund for the transfer, redemption, or sale of abandoned land at public auction. Not more than one-half of the twenty per cent may be used by the treasurer for community development, nuisance abatement, foreclosure prevention, demolition, and related services or distributed by the treasurer to a land reutilization corporation. The balance of the proceeds, if any, shall be distributed to the appropriate political subdivisions and other taxing units in proportion to their respective claims for taxes, assessments, interest, and penalties on the land. Upon the sale of foreclosed lands, the clerk of court shall hold any surplus proceeds in excess of the impositions until the clerk receives an order of priority and amount of distribution of the surplus that are adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction or receives a certified copy of an agreement between the parties entitled to a share of the surplus providing for the priority and distribution of the surplus. Any party to the action claiming a right to distribution of surplus shall have a separate cause of action in the county or municipal court of the jurisdiction in which the land reposes, provided the board confirms the transfer or regularity of the sale. Any dispute over the distribution of the surplus shall not affect or revive the equity of redemption after the board confirms the transfer or sale. (D) Upon the confirmation of sale or transfer of abandoned land pursuant to this section, the owner's fee simple interest in the land shall be conveyed to the purchaser. A conveyance under this division is free and clear of any liens and encumbrances of the parties named in the complaint for foreclosure attaching before the sale or transfer, and free and clear of any liens for taxes, except for federal tax liens and covenants and easements of record attaching before the sale. (E) The county board of revision shall reject the sale of abandoned land to any person if it is shown by a preponderance of the evidence that the person is delinquent in the payment of taxes levied by or pursuant to Chapter 307., 322., 5737., 5739., 5741., or 5743. of the Revised Code or any real property taxing provision of the Revised Code. The board also shall reject the sale of abandoned land to any person if it is shown by a preponderance of the evidence that the person is delinquent in the payment of property taxes on any parcel in the county, or to a member of any of the following classes of parties connected to that person: (1) A member of that person's immediate family; (2) Any other person with a power of attorney appointed by that person; (3) A sole proprietorship owned by that person or a member of that person's immediate family; (4) A partnership, trust, business trust, corporation, association, or other entity in which that person or a member of that person's immediate family owns or controls directly or indirectly any beneficial or legal interest. (F) If the purchase of abandoned land sold pursuant to this section or section 323.74 of the Revised Code is for less than the sum of the impositions against the abandoned land and the costs apportioned to the land under division (A) of section 323.75 of the Revised Code, then, upon the sale or transfer, all liens for taxes due at the time the deed of the property is conveyed to the purchaser following the sale or transfer, and liens subordinate to liens for taxes, shall be deemed satisfied and discharged. (G) If the county board of revision finds that the total of the impositions against the abandoned land are greater than the fair market value of the abandoned land as determined by the auditor's then-current valuation of that land, the board, at any final hearing under section 323.70 of the Revised Code, may order the property foreclosed and, without an appraisal or public auction, order the sheriff to execute a deed to the certificate holder or county land reutilization corporation that filed a complaint under section 323.69 of the Revised Code, or to a community development organization, school district, municipal corporation, county, or township, whichever is applicable, as provided in section 323.74 of the Revised Code. Upon a transfer under this division, all liens for taxes due at the time the deed of the property is transferred to the certificate holder, community development organization, school district, municipal corporation, county, or township following the conveyance, and liens subordinate to liens for taxes, shall be deemed satisfied and discharged.

(B) If a county treasurer invokes the alternative redemption period pursuant to this section, and if a municipal corporation, township, county, school district, community development organization, or county land reutilization corporation has requested title to the parcel, then upon adjudication of foreclosure of the parcel, the court or board of revision shall order, in the decree of foreclosure or by separate order, that the equity of redemption and any statutory or common law right of redemption in the parcel by its owner shall be forever terminated after the expiration of the alternative redemption period and that the parcel shall be transferred by deed directly to the requesting municipal corporation, township, county, school district, community development organization, or county land reutilization corporation without appraisal and without a sale, free and clear of all impositions and any other liens on the property, which shall be deemed forever satisfied and discharged. The court or board of revision shall order such a transfer regardless of whether the value of the taxes, assessments, penalties, interest, and other charges due on the parcel, and the costs of the action, exceed the fair market value of the parcel. No further act of confirmation or other order shall be required for such a transfer, or for the extinguishment of any statutory or common law right of redemption. (C) If a county treasurer invokes the alternative redemption period pursuant to this section and if no community development organization, county land reutilization corporation, municipal corporation, county, township, or school district has requested title to the parcel, then upon adjudication of foreclosure of the parcel, the court or board of revision shall order the property sold as otherwise provided in Chapters 323. and 5721. of the Revised Code, and, failing any bid at any such sale, the parcel shall be forfeited to the state and otherwise disposed of pursuant to Chapter 5723. of the Revised Code. (D)(1) A municipal corporation, township, county, school district, community development organization, or county land reutilization corporation to which property is transferred pursuant to division (B) of this section shall cause the property to be sold through either of the following means: (a) At a public auction conducted by the sheriff of the county in which the property is located or a designee of the sheriff in the manner provided by law for the sale of real property on execution. The auction shall be advertised in the same manner required in division (A) of section 323.73 of the Revised Code. (b) By the solicitation of sealed bids. The political subdivision, community development organization, or county land reutilization corporation shall advertise the sale in a newspaper of general circulation that meets the requirements of section 7.12 of the Revised Code in the county in which the property is located, prescribe the form of bids, and accept bids over a period of at least three weeks. (2) Upon a sale of property pursuant to division (D)(1) of this section, the municipal corporation, township, county, school district, community development organization, or county land reutilization corporation that sold the property shall calculate the sum of the taxes, assessments, penalties, interest, and other charges due on the property at the time the property was transferred under division (B) of this section; the costs of the foreclosure action that resulted in the property's transfer under that division; and any costs incurred by the political subdivision, community development organization, or county land reutilization corporation in connection with the property. If the sale price exceeds that sum, the excess proceeds shall be delivered to the county treasurer of the county in which the property is located not later than forty-five days after its sale. Thereafter, the excess proceeds shall be treated in the same manner as surplus funds under section 5721.20 of the Revised Code. The political subdivision, community development organization, or county land reutilization corporation shall maintain a record of the amounts calculated under this division, and the property's sale price, for three years after its sale date. The record is a public record subject to section 149.43 of the Revised Code. Last updated February 19, 2025 at 9:44 AM

September 29, 2013 House Bill 59 - 130th General Assembly A lake facilities authority that levies a tax authorized by sections 353.05 and 5705.55 or section 353.06 of the Revised Code may, by resolution, anticipate the proceeds of the tax and issue lake facilities authority anticipation bonds, and notes anticipating the proceeds or the bonds, in the principal amount that, in the opinion of the authority, are necessary for the purpose of paying the cost of an authorized purpose, and that the authority is able to pay over the term of the issue with the interest on the bonds or notes, or in the case of notes anticipating bonds over the term of the bonds, by the estimated amount of the taxes anticipated. The taxes are determined by the general assembly to satisfy any applicable requirement of Section 11 of Article XII, Ohio Constitution. Every issue of outstanding anticipation bonds shall be payable out of the proceeds of the taxes anticipated and other revenues of the authority that are pledged for such payment. The pledge shall be valid and binding from the time the pledge is made, and the anticipated excise taxes and revenues so pledged and thereafter received by the authority immediately shall be subject to the lien of that pledge without any physical delivery of those taxes and revenues or further act. The lien of any pledge is valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract, or otherwise against the authority, whether or not such parties have notice of the lien. Neither the resolution nor any trust agreement by which a pledge is created need be filed or recorded except in the authority's records. The anticipation bonds shall bear such date or dates, and shall mature at such time or times, in the case of any such notes or any renewals of such notes not exceeding twenty years from the date of issue of such original notes and in the case of any such bonds or any refunding bonds not exceeding forty years from the date of the original issue of notes or bonds for the purpose, and shall be executed in the manner that the resolution authorizing the bonds may provide. The anticipation bonds shall bear interest at such rates, or at a variable rate or rates changing from time to time, in accordance with provisions provided in the authorizing resolution, be in such denominations and form, either coupon or registered, carry such registration privileges, be payable in such medium of payment and at such place or places, and be subject to such terms of redemption, as the authority may authorize or provide.

§ 307.699. Annual service payment in lieu of taxes on the exempt property used by major league professional athletic team
Status: in_force

March 2, 1992 House Bill 228 - 119th General Assembly (A) As used in this section: (1) "Sports facility" has the same meaning as in section 307.696 of the Revised Code. (2) "Residual cash" has the same meaning as in division (B)(5) of section 5709.081 of the Revised Code. (B) Any political subdivision or subdivisions or any corporation that owns a sports facility that is both constructed under section 307.696 of the Revised Code and includes property exempt from taxation under division (B) of section 5709.081 of the Revised Code, shall make an annual service payment in lieu of taxes on the exempt property for each tax year beginning with the first tax year in which the facility or part thereof is used by a major league professional athletic team for its home schedule. The amount of the service payment for a tax year shall be determined by the county auditor under division (D) of this section. (C) On or before the first day of September each year, the owner of property to which this section applies shall file both of the following with the county auditor: (1) A return in the same form as under section 5711.02 of the Revised Code listing all its exempt tangible personal property as of the first day of August of that year; (2) An audited financial statement certified by the owner and reflecting the actual receipts, revenue, expenses, expenditures, net income, and residual cash derived from the property during the most recently ended calendar year. For the purposes of this section, the county auditor shall determine the true value of the real and tangible personal property owned by the political subdivision or subdivisions or the corporation and included in the sports facility, including the taxable portion thereof, by capitalizing at an appropriate rate the net income of the owner derived from that property. The auditor shall use the net income as certified in the owner's financial statement, unless he determines that the amount so certified is inaccurate, in which event he shall determine the accurate amount of net income to be capitalized. The county auditor shall compute net income before debt service, and shall not include any revenue from county taxes as defined in division (A)(1) of section 307.696 of the Revised Code. The true value so determined shall be allocated between real and tangible personal property and assessed for the purposes of this section at the appropriate percentages provided by law for determining taxable values. Using information reported or determined under this division, the county auditor shall determine the amount of putative taxes for the property for that tax year. As used in this section, "putative taxes" means the greater of one million dollars or the amount of property taxes that would have been charged and payable if all the real and tangible personal property owned by the political subdivision or subdivisions or the corporation and included in the sports facility was subject to taxation. (D) On or before the date that is sixty days before the date that the first payment of real property taxes are due without penalty under Chapter 323. of the Revised Code each tax year, the county auditor shall determine the amount of service payments for that tax year for property to which this section applies in the following manner: (1) The county auditor shall deduct from the amount of putative taxes under division (C) of this section any taxes assessed against the taxable portion of the sports facility owned by any of the entities in division (B)(1) of section 5709.081 of the Revised Code, any amounts paid by a municipal corporation under section 5709.082 of the Revised Code as a result of the exempt property, and any amounts available in the construction payments account established under division (G)(1) of this section as are required to make the total deductions under this division equal to one million dollars. (2) The county auditor shall fix the amount of the service payments for a tax year at the amount of the putative taxes minus deductions under division (D)(1) of this section. However, any amount of service payments required because the putative taxes exceed one million dollars shall not exceed the amount of residual cash of the owner of the exempt property as reported in division (C) of this section that would otherwise accrue to the political subdivision or subdivisions pursuant to division (B)(5) of section 5709.081 of the Revised Code if no service payments were imposed under this section. (3) If the exempt property is an improvement under division (C)(2) of section 5709.081 of the Revised Code, the county auditor shall determine the percentage which such improvement constitutes of the total sports facility and shall substitute for the one-million-dollar amount, wherever it appears in this section, an amount equal to such percentage multiplied by one million dollars. The percentage shall be determined by dividing the reproduction cost new of the improvement by the reproduction cost new of the total sports facility including the improvement, owned by any of the entities under division (B)(1) of section 5709.081 of the Revised Code. (E) On or before the date that is sixty days before the date that the first payment of real property taxes are due without penalty under Chapter 323. of the Revised Code each tax year, the county auditor shall certify and send notice by certified mail to the owner of the property of the amount and the calculation of the service payments charged that tax year, including the separate valuations determined for the real and tangible personal property, the capitalization rate used, the separate deductions allowed under division (D) of this section, and any claimed inaccuracies in net income determined under division (C) of this section. The service payments for a tax year shall be charged and collected in the same manner as real property taxes for that tax year. Revenue collected as service payments shall be distributed to the taxing districts that would have received property tax revenue from the exempt property if it was not exempt, for the tax year for which the payments are made, in the same proportions as property taxes are distributed. However, if the sum of the deductions allowed under division (D) of this section and the service payments exceeds one million dollars, any service payments in excess of one million dollars shall first be paid to the municipal corporation to reimburse it for the payments made under section 5709.082 of the Revised Code from the inception of such payments. Any such payments to the municipal corporation shall be deducted from the municipal payments account established under division (G)(2) of this section. (F) The owner of property exempt from taxation under section 5709.081 of the Revised Code or persons and political subdivisions entitled to file complaints under section 5715.19 of the Revised Code may appeal the determination of the annual service payments required by this section to the board of revision in the county in which the exempt property is located within the time period for filing complaints under section 5715.19 of the Revised Code. The appeal shall be taken by filing a complaint with that board which need not be on the form prescribed for other complaints filed under section 5715.19 of the Revised Code but which shall include an identification of the exempt property, a copy of the auditor's certification to the owner, a calculation of the service payments claimed to be correct and a statement of the errors in the auditor's determination. Upon receipt of such complaint the board of revision shall notify the county auditor of the county in which the exempt property is located, who shall, within thirty days of such notice, certify to the board of revision a transcript of the record of the proceedings of the county auditor pertaining to the determination of the annual service payments. Any complaint filed under this section shall be regarded as a complaint for the purposes of divisions (B), (C), (E), (F), (G), and (H) of section 5715.19 of the Revised Code. The board of revision shall order the hearing of evidence and shall determine the amount of service payments due and payable pursuant to this section. (G) The county auditor of the county in which the exempt property is located shall establish the following two accounts: (1) A construction payments account to which shall be posted all payments made by a municipal corporation pursuant to section 5709.082 of the Revised Code on account of such property derived from persons employed at the site of the sports facility in the construction of the facility. Deductions shall be made from such account as provided in division (D) of this section until the amounts so posted are exhausted ; (2) A municipal payments reimbursement account to which shall be posted all payments made by a municipal corporation pursuant to section 5709.082 of the Revised Code on account of such property including those posted under division (G)(1) of this section. Deductions shall be made from the municipal payments reimbursement account for reimbursements to the municipal corporation made under division (E) of this section until the amounts posted are exhausted.
