Bill > HF159

This bill provides a specific sales tax exemption and refund for construction materials used in building a new city hall in Burnsville, Minnesota. Under this legislation, materials, supplies, and equipment used in constructing, reconstructing, upgrading, expanding, renovating, or remodeling the new city hall will be exempt from sales and use tax, but only for purchases made between January 1, 2025, and January 1, 2029. Vendors will initially collect the sales tax at the standard rate, but the city will then be eligible for a full refund of these taxes. The bill specifies that refunds will not be processed until after June 30, 2025, and the necessary funds for these refunds will be appropriated from the state's general fund to the commissioner of revenue. This targeted tax exemption is designed to support the city of Burnsville's municipal infrastructure project by reducing the overall cost of constructing the new city hall.
