Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The stated purpose of this bill is to repeal a section of the code related to wind power projects.
According to our interpretation, passage of this bill would effectively eliminate any salvage valuation pollution control treatment for wind power plants. As a result, taxable property valuations for such facilities would increase along with property tax assessments. There would be an increase of roughly $8.5 million in revenue beginning in FY2021. The estimated revenue gain would be more than $3.8 million to the State General Revenue Fund, $1.6 million to local county school boards, and $3.1 million to county commissions. The distribution of estimated cost is based on information from taxes levied as reported in the Classified Assessed Valuations Taxes Levied for 2018 Tax Year publication of the State Tax Department and the incorporation of the calculation of local property tax share within the State Aid to Schools Formula.
Additional administrative costs would be minimal.
