Implementation

(1) The assessor shall implement the value methods required by these rules as of January 1. For each LIHTC property, the taxpayer shall notify the assessor of the taxpayer's election pursuant to rule 0600-10-.03(3) and provide documentation necessary to permit the assessor to apply the method elected. If a taxpayer for a LIHTC property fails to notify the assessor of the taxpayer’s election hereunder, the assessor shall choose one of the valuation methods provided in rule 0600-10-.03(3) and apply that method for each year until the particular property’s subsidy is exhausted. The assessor shall update the subsidy component of a LIHTC property assessment as appropriate to the alternate method as provided in these rules. The assessor shall update the restricted-use component of a LIHTC property assessment on the occasion of any county-wide reappraisal, or upon being directed by the county or state board of equalization to update the valuation for a year in which the assessment is properly appealed. (2) The taxpayer shall be bound by the method it elected under rule 0600-10-.03(3) for each year until the subsidy is exhausted. Existing properties in operation on the effective date of these rules shall be valued by the method elected by the taxpayer under rule 0600-10-.03(3) for the remaining period of the subsidy.
