SB 5680: Nonprofit organizations

Modifying the property tax exemption for nonprofit artistic, scientific, historical, and performing arts organizations.

Summary

  • Nonprofit associations that maintain and exhibit historical, scientific, or artistic collections, as well as performing arts associations, may retain their property tax exemption when they allow another organization that does not qualify for the property tax exemption to use or rent their exempt property. The number of days that property may be used for these purposes is increased from 25 to 50 days per year.
