Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Five-year property tax break for brownfields

Beginning with tax years starting July 1, 2025, qualifying improvements on brownfields property get a five‑year tax exclusion. The exclusion is 90% in Year 1, 75% in Year 2, 50% in Year 3, 30% in Year 4, and 10% in Year 5. The work must be done after 2000, and the property must be eligible and under a DEQ brownfields agreement. Later qualifying improvements get their own separate five‑year schedule.

New fees and enforcement for brownfields deals

Beginning July 2, 2025, applicants must pay a $2,000 fee when filing for a proposed brownfields agreement. If you enter an agreement, you must also pay fees equal to DEQ and the Department of Justice’s full documented costs, on a schedule set in the agreement. If extra costs come up that were not expected, the Department must give documents that explain any added fees. If you own a property with a recorded Notice of Brownfields Property and do not follow the notice rules, you must pay the State’s documented enforcement costs. Collected fees and any interest go to the Brownfields Property Reuse Act Implementation Account.
