Transportation companies face new property tax rules

Effective upon becoming law, Tennessee limits its motor bus and truck category for state property assessments to two groups. Towing companies are excluded. The first group runs commercial vehicles only for hire and holds U.S. Department of Transportation registrations through Tennessee’s PRISM system or the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. These companies must be based in Tennessee, own or lease property there, or both. Owner-operators working under a company’s motor carrier authority are included. The second group transports passengers mainly through underground tunnels or conduit systems. These companies must own and operate the tunnels and own, use, or lease the passenger vehicles. Their required filings with the Tennessee Comptroller must list all tangible personal property owned, used, or leased for the business. Filings must also describe company-owned tunnels and stations, including locations and length in miles. Companies must report total direct and indirect costs of becoming operational and any other information the Comptroller reasonably requires. The law does not specify a tax increase, tax cut, or household payment.
