Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
9 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 6 mixed.
Clean energy assessments become property liens
If you use a clean energy assessment on your home, the first yearly charge becomes a lien right away. The city must record the lien when it sets that first charge. For other property types, a lien starts when a yearly charge goes delinquent, and the city must record it within 14 days. Delinquent clean energy liens are collected like property taxes.
New limits and reports for tax-increment projects
Cities may split property taxes for up to 20 years if over half of a project area is declared extremely blighted; otherwise the limit is 15 years. To declare an area extremely blighted, cities must do a study, hold public hearings, and post the study; the label lasts at least 25 years unless removed earlier. Each city using these tools must file a yearly report by December 1 for each plan. The Property Tax Administrator sends reports on active projects to the Legislature by March 1.
Land bank boards and home-sale rules
Land bank boards must have at least seven voting members, an odd number, appointed by the mayor and confirmed by a two‑thirds vote. Most must live in the creating city and include people with roles like a chamber of commerce member and banking experience. For most cities and villages, land banks must advertise home‑ready properties for 90 days or until an offer is accepted and may include buy‑back clauses if building does not start on time. Starting November 14, 2020, a land bank cannot hold a property for a private or nonprofit group for over one year unless a community benefits agreement is in place.
Streetcar-area funds for lower-income housing
In a metropolitan city, housing within 600 yards of a public streetcar counts as related to a plan and can use tax-increment funds for households below area median income. The city and authority must try to use at least 30% of available funds each year for single-family housing. Projects that help the lowest-income people for the longest time get first priority.
Cities can outsource parking operations
Cities and villages may hire private groups to run parking and collect fines. The city keeps final say on appeals and sets all rates and fines. Contracts can last up to 30 years in first-class cities and up to 10 years in second-class cities and villages. How parking is enforced or paid for may change where these contracts are used.
Voters can approve city water sales to tribes
Cities and villages may sell a whole water or sewer system to an Indian tribe. The system must be entirely on the tribe’s lands, the tribe’s headquarters must be in the city or village, and local voters must approve the sale. An Indian tribe means one recognized by federal law or the state as of January 1, 2026.
Land banks face caps and open reporting
Land banks cannot issue bonds on or after November 14, 2020, and cannot levy or receive property tax revenue. They face caps on how many parcels they can hold: metro cities up to 7% (with at most 10% of those commercial), primary 3% (5% commercial), first class 5% (5% commercial), and second class/villages 10% (5% commercial). They also must follow open meetings rules and file an annual report by March 1 listing every property, major payees over $2,500, and conflict-of-interest certifications.
Stronger redevelopment bonds and taxpayer liens
Redevelopment authorities can issue conduit revenue bonds and pledge up to 100% of yearly excess tax revenue to pay them. They may make agreements with property owners in the project area. These agreements can create liens that are treated and enforced like property tax liens.
Annual reports on government service contracts
Cities, counties, and state agencies must file a yearly service-contract report by March 1, starting in 2028. The state compiles and posts a full report by April 1 each year so the public can see who gets contracts and where dollars go by ZIP code. If a city or county does not file, the State Treasurer must stop state aid payments until it files.
