Status: in_force

(a) A tax increment is computed by multiplying the total in property taxes levied and collected by the municipality and all other taxing entities on the taxable real property in an urban renewal project area in a year by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to that year's market value of all taxable real property in the area minus the tax increment base and the denominator of which is equal to that year's market value of all taxable real property in the area.

(b) For the purposes of this chapter, only the tax assessor-collector determines the market value of property located in an urban renewal project area during the time that the project exists. The determination requires the concurrence of the comptroller. A property owner who is aggrieved by a determination of the tax assessor-collector has the same right of appeal as that provided by law to owners of property not affected by this chapter.

(c) At the time an urban renewal project is designated by the governing body, the tax assessor-collector shall, with the concurrence of the comptroller, certify to the governing body the market value of property within the boundaries of the urban renewal district. The tax assessor-collector shall include at its most recently determined market value any property that is taxable at the time that the urban renewal project is designated and shall include at zero any property that is exempt from taxation at the time that the district is designated.

(d) The tax assessor-collector shall annually certify to the governing body the amount of the captured market value of property within the boundaries of the district and the amount of tax increments produced from that captured market value. The tax assessor-collector shall make the initial certification not later than one year from the date on which an urban renewal project is designated.

(e) For any year in which taxes are to be paid into the tax increment fund established under Section 374.032, a taxing entity may not consider any captured market value with respect to an urban renewal project in computing a debt limitation or for any other purpose except to determine the amount to be paid into the tax increment fund.
