This bill creates a property tax exemption for prefabricated recreational structures located in licensed campgrounds, and establishes compensation measures for taxing jurisdictions affected by the exemption.

  • 66.0435 (3) (c) 1. (intro.)

    from prefabricated structures described under s. 70.11 (49) → from prefabricated structures described under s. 70.11 (49)

    The bill clarifies that prefabricated structures described in a new section are exempt from the monthly municipal permit fee.

  • 70.11

    RECREATIONAL PREFABRICATED STRUCTURES. Any prefabricated structure originally designed to be towed upon a highway by a motor vehicle and used primarily as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel, or seasonal purposes, including accessory decks, sheds, and porches, if such prefabricated structures are located in a licensed campground under s. 97.67 upon land that is not owned by the owner of such prefabricated structures.

    This creates a new property tax exemption for specific prefabricated recreational structures located in licensed campgrounds.

  • 70.17 (3)

    manufactured and mobile homes, not otherwise exempt from taxation under s. → manufactured and mobile homes, not otherwise exempt from taxation under s. 66.0435 (3) or 70.11 (49), buildings, improvements, and fixtures on leased lands,

    This addition specifies that the new exemption for prefabricated structures applies to the assessment of manufactured and mobile homes.

  • 79.0965 (title)

    State aid; repeal of personal property tax; exemptions. → State aid; repeal of personal property tax; exemptions.

    The title of the section is updated to reflect amendments regarding property tax exemptions.

  • 79.0965 (1m)

    Beginning in 2027, the department of administration shall pay to each taxing jurisdiction, as defined in s. 79.095 (1) (c), an amount equal to the property taxes levied on property described under s. 70.11 (49) for the property tax assessments as of January 1, 2025.

    This creates a provision for state aid payments to taxing jurisdictions for losses incurred due to the new property tax exemption.

  • 79.0965 (2m)

    Each municipality shall report to the department of revenue, in the time and manner determined by the department, the amount of the property taxes levied on property described under s. 70.11 (49) for the property tax assessments as of January 1, 2025, on behalf of the municipality and on behalf of other taxing jurisdictions.

    This establishes a reporting requirement for municipalities regarding property tax levied on exempt recreational prefabricated structures.

  • 79.0965 (3)

    the amount the taxing jurisdiction receives under sub. subs. (1) and (1m). → the amount the taxing jurisdiction receives under subs. (1) and (1m).

    This change clarifies the provisions regarding the distribution of payments to tax incremental districts.

  • 79.0965 (5)

    The department of revenue shall certify the amount of the payment due each taxing jurisdiction under sub. (1m) to the department of administration, and the department of administration shall make the payment on or before the first Monday in July.

    This creates a scheduled payment requirement for the department of administration to make payments to taxing jurisdictions concerning the new exemption.
