Fairmont sales and use tax exemption for construction materials authorization

SF 220 exempts sales and use tax on construction materials for three specific projects in Fairmont: UV/biosolids facilities (purchases Sept 11, 2024-Jan 11, 2027), storage tanks (Jan 1, 2025-June 2, 2026), and public works buildings (May 31, 2021-March 8, 2024). The exemption applies to materials used in construction, renovation, or upgrades, with tax paid upfront and refunded later. Refunds for eligible purchases won’t be issued before June 30, 2025, and funds will come from the state general fund. This directly affects contractors and businesses purchasing materials for these Fairmont projects during the specified periods.
