36-7-14-39.3. Definitions; Legalization of Certain Declaratory Resolutions and Actions of Redevelopment Commissions; Effect of Certain Amendments to Section

Sec. 39.3. (a) As used in this section, "depreciable personal property" refers to:
(1) all of the designated taxpayer's depreciable personal property that is located in the allocation area; and
(2) all other depreciable property located and taxable on the designated taxpayer's site of operations within the allocation area.
(b) As used in this section, "designated taxpayer" means any taxpayer designated by the commission in a declaratory resolution adopted or amended under section 15 or 17.5 of this chapter, and with respect to which the commission finds that taxes to be derived from the depreciable personal property in the allocation area, in excess of the taxes attributable to the base assessed value of that personal property, are needed to pay debt service or to provide security for bonds issued under section 25.1 of this chapter or to make payments or to provide security on leases payable under section 25.2 of this chapter in order to provide local public improvements for a particular allocation area. However, a commission may not designate a taxpayer after June 30, 1992, unless the commission also finds that:
(1) the taxpayer's property in the allocation area will consist primarily of industrial, manufacturing, warehousing, research and development, processing, distribution, or transportation related projects or regulated amusement devices (as defined in IC 22-12-1-19.1) and related improvements; and
(2) the taxpayer's property in the allocation area will not consist primarily of retail, commercial, or residential projects, other than an amusement park or tourism industry project.
(c) The allocation provision of a declaratory resolution may modify the definition of "property taxes" under section 39(a) of this chapter to include taxes imposed under IC 6-1.1 on the depreciable personal property located and taxable on the site of operations of the designated taxpayers in accordance with the procedures and limitations set forth in this section and section 39 of this chapter. If such a modification is included in the resolution, for purposes of section 39 of this chapter the term "base assessed value" with respect to the depreciable personal property means, subject to section 39(j) of this chapter, the net assessed value of all the depreciable personal property as finally determined for the assessment date immediately preceding:
(1) the effective date of the modification, for modifications adopted before July 1, 1995; and
(2) the adoption date of the modification for modifications adopted after June 30, 1995;
as adjusted under section 39(h) of this chapter.
(d) A declaratory resolution of a city redevelopment commission that is adopted before March 20, 1990, is legalized and validated as if it had been adopted under this section.
(e) An action taken by a redevelopment commission before February 24, 1992, to designate a taxpayer, modify the definition of property taxes, or establish a base assessed value as described in this section, as in effect on February 24, 1992, is legalized and validated as if this section, as in effect on February 24, 1992, had been in effect on the date of the action.
(f) The amendment made to this section by P.L.41-1992, does not affect actions taken pursuant to P.L.35-1990.
(g) A declaratory resolution or an amendment to a declaratory resolution that was adopted by:
(1) a county redevelopment commission for a county; or
(2) a city redevelopment commission for a city;
before February 26, 1992, is legalized and validated as if the declaratory resolution or amendment had been adopted under this section as amended by P.L.147-1992.
As added by P.L.35-1990, SEC.59. Amended by P.L.147-1992, SEC.1; P.L.41-1992, SEC.6; P.L.1-1993, SEC.244; P.L.19-1994, SEC.17; P.L.25-1995, SEC.86; P.L.172-2011, SEC.149; P.L.220-2011, SEC.664; P.L.6-2012, SEC.244; P.L.214-2019, SEC.35; P.L.257-2019, SEC.122.
