Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

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

County split of renewable energy tax

County treasurers must distribute all nameplate capacity tax revenue from wind, solar, biomass, or landfill gas projects. 5% goes to the community college area where the facility is located. The rest goes to local taxing entities that would have received personal property tax without the equipment exemption. An entity stays eligible even when that equipment’s net book value falls to zero; eligibility ends only when all such equipment is disposed of. Each eligible entity’s share equals its levy divided by total eligible levies, times the remaining revenue. The Department of Revenue cannot keep or move this money to the state General Fund.
