B 26-0055 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Nonprofit Solar Tax Exemption Amendment Act of 2025

This bill exempts nonprofit organizations in Washington, D.C. from real property taxes on buildings and grounds used for solar energy generation, energy storage, and energy management activities - provided they meet Energy Star guidelines. It directly affects tax-exempt nonprofits that operate qualifying solar infrastructure, removing their tax burden for these specific uses. The bill expands existing tax exemptions under Section 1002 by explicitly including solar energy systems, storage, and management, while also covering electric vehicle charging infrastructure. It does not alter general tax rules but targets a specific category of nonprofit property use.
