AI Summary

This bill, titled the Site Value Tax Law, allows any taxing district, such as a city or county, to choose to implement a new type of property tax by passing an ordinance. This new tax would be levied on the "assessed value" of land, which is defined as one-third of the land's fair market value, excluding any buildings, structures, or improvements on it, but including the value of any oil, gas, coal, or other minerals within the land and the right to extract them. The bill also outlines that the collection and enforcement of this site value tax will follow the existing procedures for property taxes, meaning taxpayers will have the same deadlines, rights, and remedies as they do for regular property taxes.
