extension of such exemption benefits, 

then it should raise the matter directly 

with OFM. 

• Unless otherwise determined by 

OFM, the effective date of OFM’s 

authorization of an exemption from real 

estate taxes is the date the property deed 

in question is signed or transferred. 

• States, counties, municipalities, and 

territories may establish additional 

procedures to ensure the proper 

extension of such exemption benefits, 

provided that: 

Æ such procedures, including the 

establishment and use of any forms, 

serve only to facilitate the state, county, 

municipality, or territory’s extension of 

exemption benefits to TECRO and not as 

a means to determine the TECRO’s 

entitlement to the exemption benefit 

associated with a property on the basis 

of the property’s authorized use for the 

performance of TECRO’s authorized 

functions, which determination is 

committed to the sole discretion of the 

Department of State; and 

Æ the state, county, municipality, or 

territory obtain written approval from 

the Director of OFM/PTSB confirming 

that the proposed procedural 

requirements do not violate or infringe 

on any benefits, privileges, or 

immunities enjoyed by TECRO. 

Finally, I further determine that any 

state or local laws to the contrary are 

hereby preempted. 

The exemption from real estate taxes 

provided by this designation and 

determination shall apply to taxes that 

have been or will be assessed against 

TECRO’s primary office, one of its 

subsidiary offices, the head of such an 

office, a component of such an office, or 

the authorities on Taiwan with respect 

to property subject to this 

determination, and shall nullify any 

existing tax liens with respect to any 

covered property. This determination 

shall not require the refund of any taxes 

previously paid by TECRO’s primary 

office, one of its subsidiary offices, the 

head of such an office, a component of 

such an office, or the authorities on 

Taiwan regarding such property. These 

actions are not exclusive and are 

independent of alternative legal grounds 

that support the tax exemptions 

afforded herein. 

The actions taken in this Designation 

and Determination are necessary to 

protect the interests of the United States 

and to adjust for costs and procedures 

of obtaining benefits for AIT.
