Bill > SB404

This bill requires local governments (including cities, towns, counties, and consolidated city-counties) and the Department of Labor and Industry to send copies of building and electrical permits for new construction to the Department of Revenue within 90 days of issuing the permit. The notification must include clear location information for the parcel, which can be in the form of an address, geocode, or legal description, using a format agreed upon by the Department of Revenue. The bill modifies existing notification requirements by extending the reporting timeframe from 1 month to 90 days and removing specific references to field office locations. The purpose of this requirement appears to be to help the Department of Revenue identify and track new construction for assessment and tax purposes. The bill is intended to be added to Title 15, Chapter 7, Part 1 of the state's legal code, which likely relates to revenue and taxation procedures.
