01:59 PM -- HB 14-1101

Representative Tyler, prime sponsor, presented House Bill 14-1101. Under current law, business owners of a community solar garden (CSG) must pay property tax on the personal property used to generate electricity. Assessors value this property by determining the generating capacity of the CSG and multiplying by the cost per kilowatt of alternating current electricity as published by the Division of Property Taxation in the Department of Local Affairs. Beginning in property tax year 2015, this bill specifies that the share of electricity generated by a CSG and attributed to residential or governmental subscribers is exempt from property tax. Thus, business personal property tax for a CSG would be levied only on the share of electricity generating capacity used by businesses. The committee heard witness testimony on January 29, 2014. Amendment L.004 and another handout were distributed to the committee (Attachments A and B, respectively).
