HB 2384: Nonprofit housing/prop. tax

Concerning the property tax exemption for nonprofit organizations providing rental housing or mobile home park spaces to qualifying households.

Summary

  • Allows for the continuation of the property tax exemption for nonprofits providing housing for very low-income households, for facilities of all sizes, in cases where the income of a "qualifying household" rises above the qualifying income threshold, but remains at or below 80 percent of median income for the county.
  • Expands the definition of "qualifying households," beginning July 1, 2021, to include those whose income is at or below 60 percent of median income for the county in which the rental housing is located.
  • Requires nonprofits receiving the exemption to recertify their exempt status every three years instead of annual recertification.
