AN ACT
|
�
|
relating to qualification for an ad valorem tax exemption for |
�
|
property used to provide low-income or moderate-income housing in |
�
|
the event of a change in ownership of the property as a result of a |
�
|
foreclosure sale. |
�
|
�������BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
�
|
�������SECTION�1.��Section 11.182, Tax Code, is amended by amending |
�
|
Subsection (j) and adding Subsection (k) to read as follows: |
�
|
�������(j)��An organization may not receive an exemption under |
�
|
Subsection (b) or [under Subsection] (f)[, as added by Chapter
|
�
|
1191, Acts of the 77th Legislature, Regular Session, 2001,] for |
�
|
property for a tax year [beginning on or after January 1, 2004,] |
�
|
unless the organization received an exemption under that subsection |
�
|
for the [that] property for any part of the 2003 tax year. |
�
|
�������(k)��Notwithstanding Subsection (j) of this section and |
�
|
Sections 11.43(a) and (c), an exemption under Subsection (b) or (f) |
�
|
does not terminate because of a change in the ownership of the |
�
|
property if the property is sold at a foreclosure sale and, not |
�
|
later than the 30th day after the date of the sale, the owner of the |
�
|
property submits to the chief appraiser evidence that the property |
�
|
is owned by an organization that meets the requirements of |
�
|
Subsections (b)(1), (2), and (4). �If the owner of the property |
�
|
submits the evidence required by this subsection, the exemption |
�
|
continues to apply to the property for the remainder of the current |
�
|
tax year and for subsequent tax years until the owner ceases to |
�
|
qualify the property for the exemption. �This subsection does not |
�
|
prohibit the chief appraiser from requiring the owner to file a new |
�
|
application to confirm the owner's current qualification for the |
�
|
exemption as provided by Section 11.43(c). |
�
|
�������SECTION�2.��This Act takes effect immediately if it receives |
�
|
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as |
�
|
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution.��If this |
�
|
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this |
�
|
Act takes effect September 1, 2007. |
