AN ACT to amend 2005 PA 210, entitled “An act to provide for the establishment of commercial rehabilitation districts in certain local governmental units; to provide for the exemption from certain taxes; to levy and collect a specific tax upon the owners of certain qualified facilities; to provide for the disposition of the tax; to provide for the obtaining and transferring of an exemption certificate and to prescribe the contents of those certificates; to prescribe the powers and duties of certain local governmental officials; and to provide penalties,” by amending sections 6 and 8 (MCL 207.846 and 207.848), section 8 as amended by 2011 PA 82.
The People of the State of Michigan enact:
Sec. 6. (1) Not more than 60 days after receipt of a copy of the application and resolution adopted under section 5, the commission shall approve or disapprove the resolution.
(2) Following approval of the application by the legislative body of the qualified local governmental unit and the commission, the commission shall issue to the applicant a commercial rehabilitation exemption certificate in the form the commission determines, which shall contain all of the following:
(a) A legal description of the real property on which the qualified facility is located.
(b) A statement that unless revoked as provided in this act the certificate shall remain in force for the period stated in the certificate.
(c) A statement of the taxable value of the qualified facility, separately stated for real and personal property, for the tax year immediately preceding the effective date of the certificate after deducting the taxable value of the land and personal property other than personal property assessed pursuant to sections 8(d) and 14(6) of the general property tax act, 1893 PA 206, MCL 211.8 and 211.14.
(d) A statement of the period of time authorized by the legislative body of the qualified local governmental unit within which the rehabilitation shall be completed.
(e) If the period of time authorized by the legislative body of the qualified local governmental unit pursuant to subdivision (b) is less than 10 years, the exemption certificate shall contain the factors, criteria, and objectives, as determined by the resolution of the qualified local governmental unit, necessary for extending the period of time, if any.
(3) Except as otherwise provided in section 8(4), the effective date of the certificate is the December 31 immediately following the date of issuance of the certificate.
(4) The commission shall file with the clerk of the qualified local governmental unit a copy of the commercial rehabilitation exemption certificate, and the commission shall maintain a record of all certificates filed. The commission shall also send, by certified mail, a copy of the commercial rehabilitation exemption certificate to the applicant and the assessor of the local tax collecting unit in which the qualified facility is located.
Sec. 8. (1) If the taxable value of the property proposed to be exempt pursuant to an application under consideration, considered together with the aggregate taxable value of property exempt under certificates previously granted and currently in force under this act or under 1974 PA 198, MCL 207.551 to 207.572, exceeds 5% of the taxable value of the qualified local governmental unit, the legislative body of the qualified local governmental unit shall make a separate finding and shall include a statement in its resolution approving the application that exceeding that amount shall not have the effect of substantially impeding the operation of the qualified local governmental unit or impairing the financial soundness of an affected taxing unit.
(2) The legislative body of the qualified local governmental unit shall not approve an application for a commercial rehabilitation exemption certificate unless the applicant complies with all of the following requirements:
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this subdivision or subsection (3), the commencement of the rehabilitation of the qualified facility does not occur earlier than 6 months before the applicant files the application for the commercial rehabilitation exemption certificate. However, through December 31, 2009, for a qualified facility that is a qualified retail food establishment, the commencement of the rehabilitation does not occur earlier than 42 months before the applicant files the application for the commercial rehabilitation exemption certificate.
(b) The application relates to a rehabilitation program that when completed constitutes a qualified facility within the meaning of this act and that shall be situated within a commercial rehabilitation district established in a qualified local governmental unit eligible under this act.
(c) Completion of the qualified facility is calculated to, and will at the time of issuance of the certificate have the reasonable likelihood to, increase commercial activity, create employment, retain employment, prevent a loss of employment, revitalize urban areas, or increase the number of residents in the community in which the qualified facility is situated.
(d) The applicant states, in writing, that the rehabilitation of the qualified facility, excluding qualified retail food establishments through December 31, 2009, would not be undertaken without the applicant’s receipt of the exemption certificate.
(e) The applicant is not delinquent in the payment of any taxes related to the qualified facility.
(3) The provisions of subsection (2)(a) and (d) and the provision contained in section 4(1) that provides that the district must be established before an application is filed do not apply to the rehabilitation of a qualified facility located in a commercial rehabilitation district established by the legislative body of the qualified local governmental unit in 2011 for construction or rehabilitation that was commenced in August 2010 and for which an application for a commercial rehabilitation exemption certificate was filed in June 2010.
(4) For certificates issued by the commission after January 1, 2018, if the clerk of the qualified local governmental unit failed to forward an application that was approved by the legislative body of the qualified local governmental unit before October 31 of that year to the commission before October 31 of that same year but filed the application with the commission before October 31 of the immediately succeeding year and the commission approves that application, then the effective date of that certificate is December 31 of the year in which the qualified local governmental unit approved the application.
Enacting section 1. This amendatory act is intended to be retroactive and effective beginning December 31, 2017.
This act is ordered to take immediate effect.
