Revise treatment of tax increment upon expiration of tax increment financing provision
SB 2 clarifies how local governments calculate property tax levies when a tax increment financing (TIF) district ends. It specifies that the value previously held in the TIF district (the "increment") must be treated as "newly taxable property" for tax calculations in the year of termination or the following year. This directly affects Montana local governments, as it ensures they can include this value when determining property tax revenues under existing levy formulas, without treating it as new construction or annexation. The bill amends Montana Code Annotated sections 15-10-420 and 20-9-336 to define these rules clearly.
