Bill > HB2610

This bill modifies existing laws to ensure that nonprofit housing providers can still qualify for property tax exemptions even if their property is temporarily used for certain community purposes other than affordable housing, by removing references to a specific exemption (RCW 84.36.049) that is being repealed or amended. It clarifies rules regarding property use, rental, and fund-raising events for nonprofit organizations seeking tax exemptions, and it adjusts the application and renewal processes for these exemptions, particularly for properties used for developing affordable housing. The bill also introduces new sections that specify when these changes take effect and when certain amended sections will expire or become effective, with some provisions applying to taxes levied for collection in 2027 and thereafter, and others having specific expiration and effective dates in 2033.
