An application for exemption is
				required to be filed with the appropriate assessing authority by February 1 of

				appropriate amount of exemption if the property used to convert the methane gas
				to energy also uses another fuel. The first year exemption shall be equal to
				the estimated ratio that the methane gas consumed bears to the total fuel
				consumed times the assessed value of the property. The exemption for subsequent
				years shall be based on the actual ratio for the previous year.

Eligibility for
				exemption.
To qualify for exemption, the property must be used either
				in an operation that decomposes waste and converts it to methane gas or other
				gases produced as a byproduct of waste decomposition, then collects the gases

				The exemption applies to both property used in connection with, or in
				conjunction with, a publicly owned sanitary landfill and to property not used

				  with, or in conjunction with, a publicly owned sanitary landfill is limited to
				  property originally placed in operation on or after January 1, 2008, and on or
				  before December 31, 2012, and will be available for the ten-year period

Special valuation allowed by ordinance.
A city council or
				county board of supervisors may provide by ordinance for the special valuation
				of wind energy conversion property. If the ordinance is repealed, the special
				valuation applies through the nineteenth assessment year following the first
				year the property was assessed. Once the ordinance has been repealed and the
				special valuation is no longer applicable, the property must be valued at
				market value rather than at 30 percent of net acquisition cost. The special
				valuation applies to property first assessed on or after the effective date of
				the ordinance. The local assessor must value the property in accordance with
				the schedule provided in Iowa Code section
				427B.26(2). The
				property qualifies for special valuation provided the taxpayer files a
				declaration of intent with the local assessor by February 1 of the assessment
				year in which the property is first assessed for tax to have the property
				locally assessed. The property must not be assessed until the assessment year
				following the year the entire wind plant is completed. A wind plant is
				completed when it is placed in service.
(2)
Special valuation not allowed by
				ordinance.
If a city council or county board of supervisors has not
				passed an ordinance providing for the special valuation of wind energy
				conversion property, property that was placed in service after July 1, 2005,
				and before July 1, 2012, is to be assessed by the department of revenue for a
				period of 12 years, and the taxes payable on the facilities are to be paid to
				the department at the same time as regular property taxes. The owner of the
				facility must file an annual report with the department by May 1 of each year
				during the 12-year assessment period, and the department must certify the
				assessed value of the facility by November 1 of each year to the county
				auditor. The board of supervisors must notify the county treasurer to state on
				the tax statement that the property taxes are to be paid to the department. The
				board must also notify the department of those facilities that are required to
				pay the property taxes to the department. The department must notify the county
				treasurer of the date the taxes were paid within five business days of receipt,
				and the notification is authorization for the county treasurer to mark the
				record as paid in the county system.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section
				  427B.26 and chapter

				  percentage adopted must not allow a greater exemption, but may allow a smaller
				  exemption. If the homeowner elects to take the exemption provided in this rule,
				  the homeowner may not claim any other value-added exemption. An application
				  must be filed for each revitalization project resulting in increased assessed
				  value for which an exemption is claimed. The application for exemption must be
				  filed by the owner of the property with the local assessor by February 1 of the

				  exemption is granted, the exemption will continue for succeeding years without
				  the taxpayer's having to file an application for exemption unless additional
				  revitalization projects occur on the property. The ordinance must expire or be
				  repealed no later than December 31, 2016.
This rule is intended to implement 2009 Iowa Acts, Senate
				  File 457, sections 23 to 30.

				427.1(14), the
				assessor shall not base the determination of the taxable status of property
				solely on the statement of objects or purposes of the organization,
				institution, or society seeking an exemption. The use of the property rather
				than the objects or purposes of the organization, institution, or society shall
				be the controlling factor in determining the taxable status of property.

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1) The
				status of property on July 1 of the fiscal year which commences during the
				assessment year determines eligibility of the property for exemption in
				situations where no claim is required to be filed to procure a tax exemption.
				If the property is in a taxable status on July 1, no exemption is allowable for
				that fiscal year. If the property is in an exempt status on July 1, no taxes
				are to be levied against the property during that fiscal year. Exceptions to
				this rule are as follows:
a. Land acquired by
				the state of Iowa or a political subdivision thereof after July 1 in connection
				with the establishment, improvement, or maintenance of a public road shall be
				taxable for that portion of the fiscal year in which the property was privately
				owned.
b. All current and
				delinquent tax liabilities are to be canceled and no future taxes levied
				against property acquired by the United States or its instrumentalities,
				regardless of the date of acquisition, unless the United States Congress has
				authorized the taxation of specific federally owned property (1980 O.A.G.
				80-1-19). The following exceptions apply:
(1)
				Property owned by the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) and property owned by the
				Federal Land Bank Association are subject to taxation, and any tax liabilities
				existing at the time of the acquisition are not to be canceled (1982 O.A.G.
				82-1-16; 12 U.S.C.S. §2055).
(2) Existing tax liabilities against property
				acquired by the Small Business Administration are not to be canceled if the
				acquisition takes place after the date of levy. However, no taxes are to be
				levied if the acquisition takes place prior to the levy date or for subsequent
				fiscal years in which the Small Business Administration owns the property on
				July 1 (15 U.S.C.S. §646).
c. Land owned by the state and leased by the
				department of corrections or the department of human services pursuant to Iowa
				Code section 904.302,
				904.705, or
				904.706 to an entity that is not
				exempt from property tax is subject to taxation for the term of the lease. This
				provision applies to leases entered into on or after July 1, 2003. The lessor
				shall file a copy of the lease with the county assessor of the county where the
				land is located.
