Section 471A.05 Exemption from Property Taxes

471A.05 EXEMPTION FROM PROPERTY TAXES.

If the service contract provides that property taxes imposed with respect to the related facilities are to be included in the service fee as pass-through costs, the municipality may apply to the commissioner of revenue for an exemption from property taxation of the related facilities. The property is exempt from ad valorem taxation, if the commissioner of revenue determines that the related facilities serve the general public and that similar municipally-owned facilities are exempt from ad valorem property taxation. The commissioner of revenue must notify the assessor that the property is exempt from taxation. The exemption is only effective during the term of the service contract from and after the date of filing the certificate in the case of property taxes. The exemption is not effective with respect to any property taxes levied or imposed but not collected prior to the date of approval of the exemption by the commissioner of revenue.
