SENATE BILL No. 439 A BILL FOR AN ACT to amend the Indiana Code concerning local government. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana: 1 SECTION 1. IC 36-7-14-39, AS AMENDED BY P.L.136-2024, 2 SECTION 54, IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE 3 JULY 1, 2025]: Sec. 39. (a) As used in this section: 4 "Allocation area" means that part of a redevelopment project area 5 to which an allocation provision of a declaratory resolution adopted 6 under section 15 of this chapter refers for purposes of distribution and 7 allocation of property taxes. 8 "Base assessed value" means, subject to subsection (j), the 9 following: 10 (1) If an allocation provision is adopted after June 30, 1995, in a 11 declaratory resolution or an amendment to a declaratory 12 resolution establishing an economic development area: 13 (A) the net assessed value of all the property as finally 14 determined for the assessment date immediately preceding the 15 effective date of the allocation provision of the declaratory 16 resolution, as adjusted under subsection (h); plus 17 (B) to the extent that it is not included in clause (A), the net 2025 IN 439—LS 7439/DI 134 2 1 assessed value of property that is assessed as residential 2 property under the rules of the department of local government 3 finance, within the allocation area, as finally determined for 4 the current assessment date. 5 (2) If an allocation provision is adopted after June 30, 1997, in a 6 declaratory resolution or an amendment to a declaratory 7 resolution establishing a redevelopment project area: 8 (A) the net assessed value of all the property as finally 9 determined for the assessment date immediately preceding the 10 effective date of the allocation provision of the declaratory 11 resolution, as adjusted under subsection (h); plus 12 (B) to the extent that it is not included in clause (A), the net 13 assessed value of property that is assessed as residential 14 property under the rules of the department of local government 15 finance, as finally determined for the current assessment date. 16 (3) If: 17 (A) an allocation provision adopted before June 30, 1995, in 18 a declaratory resolution or an amendment to a declaratory 19 resolution establishing a redevelopment project area expires 20 after June 30, 1997; and 21 (B) after June 30, 1997, a new allocation provision is included 22 in an amendment to the declaratory resolution; 23 the net assessed value of all the property as finally determined for 24 the assessment date immediately preceding the effective date of 25 the allocation provision adopted after June 30, 1997, as adjusted 26 under subsection (h). 27 (4) Except as provided in subdivision (5), for all other allocation 28 areas, the net assessed value of all the property as finally 29 determined for the assessment date immediately preceding the 30 effective date of the allocation provision of the declaratory 31 resolution, as adjusted under subsection (h). 32 (5) If an allocation area established in an economic development 33 area before July 1, 1995, is expanded after June 30, 1995, the 34 definition in subdivision (1) applies to the expanded part of the 35 area added after June 30, 1995. 36 (6) If an allocation area established in a redevelopment project 37 area before July 1, 1997, is expanded after June 30, 1997, the 38 definition in subdivision (2) applies to the expanded part of the 39 area added after June 30, 1997. 40 Except as provided in section 39.3 of this chapter, "property taxes" 41 means taxes imposed under IC 6-1.1 on real property. However, upon 42 approval by a resolution of the redevelopment commission adopted 2025 IN 439—LS 7439/DI 134 3 1 before June 1, 1987, "property taxes" also includes taxes imposed 2 under IC 6-1.1 on depreciable personal property. If a redevelopment 3 commission adopted before June 1, 1987, a resolution to include within 4 the definition of property taxes, taxes imposed under IC 6-1.1 on 5 depreciable personal property that has a useful life in excess of eight 6 (8) years, the commission may by resolution determine the percentage 7 of taxes imposed under IC 6-1.1 on all depreciable personal property 8 that will be included within the definition of property taxes. However, 9 the percentage included must not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of 10 the taxes imposed under IC 6-1.1 on all depreciable personal property. 11 If a proposed redevelopment project area is not taxable at the time 12 the allocation area is being established, any property taxes that 13 would have been paid on undeveloped land shall be included in the 14 base assessed value for purposes of determining property tax levy 15 distributions to the appropriate local units. 16 (b) A declaratory resolution adopted under section 15 of this chapter 17 on or before the allocation deadline determined under subsection (i) 18 may include a provision with respect to the allocation and distribution 19 of property taxes for the purposes and in the manner provided in this 20 section. A declaratory resolution previously adopted may include an 21 allocation provision by the amendment of that declaratory resolution on 22 or before the allocation deadline determined under subsection (i) in 23 accordance with the procedures required for its original adoption. A 24 declaratory resolution or amendment that establishes an allocation 25 provision must include a specific finding of fact, supported by 26 evidence, that the adoption of the allocation provision will result in 27 new property taxes in the area that would not have been generated but 28 for the adoption of the allocation provision. For an allocation area 29 established before July 1, 1995, the expiration date of any allocation 30 provisions for the allocation area is June 30, 2025, or the last date of 31 any obligations that are outstanding on July 1, 2015, whichever is later. 32 A declaratory resolution or an amendment that establishes an allocation 33 provision after June 30, 1995, must specify an expiration date for the 34 allocation provision. For an allocation area established before July 1, 35 2008, the expiration date may not be more than thirty (30) years after 36 the date on which the allocation provision is established. For an 37 allocation area established after June 30, 2008, the expiration date may 38 not be more than twenty-five (25) years after the date on which the first 39 obligation was incurred to pay principal and interest on bonds or lease 40 rentals on leases payable from tax increment revenues. However, with 41 respect to bonds or other obligations that were issued before July 1, 42 2008, if any of the bonds or other obligations that were scheduled when 2025 IN 439—LS 7439/DI 134 4 1 issued to mature before the specified expiration date and that are 2 payable only from allocated tax proceeds with respect to the allocation 3 area remain outstanding as of the expiration date, the allocation 4 provision does not expire until all of the bonds or other obligations are 5 no longer outstanding. Notwithstanding any other law, in the case of an 6 allocation area that is established after June 30, 2019, and that is 7 located in a redevelopment project area described in section 8 25.1(c)(3)(C) of this chapter, an economic development area described 9 in section 25.1(c)(3)(C) of this chapter, or an urban renewal project 10 area described in section 25.1(c)(3)(C) of this chapter, the expiration 11 date of the allocation provision may not be more than thirty-five (35) 12 years after the date on which the allocation provision is established. 13 The allocation provision may apply to all or part of the redevelopment 14 project area. The allocation provision must require that any property 15 taxes subsequently levied by or for the benefit of any public body 16 entitled to a distribution of property taxes on taxable property in the 17 allocation area be allocated and distributed as follows: 18 (1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the proceeds of 19 the taxes attributable to the lesser of: 20 (A) the assessed value of the property for the assessment date 21 with respect to which the allocation and distribution is made; 22 or 23 (B) the base assessed value; 24 shall be allocated to and, when collected, paid into the funds of 25 the respective taxing units. 26 (2) This subdivision applies to a fire protection territory 27 established after December 31, 2022. If a unit becomes a 28 participating unit of a fire protection territory that is established 29 after a declaratory resolution is adopted under section 15 of this 30 chapter, the excess of the proceeds of the property taxes 31 attributable to an increase in the property tax rate for the 32 participating unit of a fire protection territory: 33 (A) except as otherwise provided by this subdivision, shall be 34 determined as follows: 35 STEP ONE: Divide the unit's tax rate for fire protection for 36 the year before the establishment of the fire protection 37 territory by the participating unit's tax rate as part of the fire 38 protection territory. 39 STEP TWO: Subtract the STEP ONE amount from one (1). 40 STEP THREE: Multiply the STEP TWO amount by the 41 allocated property tax attributable to the participating unit of 42 the fire protection territory; and 2025 IN 439—LS 7439/DI 134 5 1 (B) to the extent not otherwise included in subdivisions (1) 2 and (3), the amount determined under STEP THREE of clause 3 (A) shall be allocated to and distributed in the form of an 4 allocated property tax revenue pass back to the participating 5 unit of the fire protection territory for the assessment date with 6 respect to which the allocation is made. 7 However, if the redevelopment commission determines that it is 8 unable to meet its debt service obligations with regards to the 9 allocation area without all or part of the allocated property tax 10 revenue pass back to the participating unit of a fire protection area 11 under this subdivision, then the allocated property tax revenue 12 pass back under this subdivision shall be reduced by the amount 13 necessary for the redevelopment commission to meet its debt 14 service obligations of the allocation area. The calculation under 15 this subdivision must be made by the redevelopment commission 16 in collaboration with the county auditor and the applicable fire 17 protection territory. Any calculation determined according to 18 clause (A) must be submitted to the department of local 19 government finance in the manner prescribed by the department 20 of local government finance. The department of local government 21 finance shall verify the accuracy of each calculation. 22 (3) The excess of the proceeds of the property taxes imposed for 23 the assessment date with respect to which the allocation and 24 distribution is made that are attributable to taxes imposed after 25 being approved by the voters in a referendum or local public 26 question conducted after April 30, 2010, not otherwise included 27 in subdivisions (1) and (2) shall be allocated to and, when 28 collected, paid into the funds of the taxing unit for which the 29 referendum or local public question was conducted. 30 (4) Except as otherwise provided in this section, property tax 31 proceeds in excess of those described in subdivisions (1), (2), and 32 (3) shall be allocated to the redevelopment district and, when 33 collected, paid into an allocation fund for that allocation area that 34 may be used by the redevelopment district only to do one (1) or 35 more of the following: 36 (A) Pay the principal of and interest on any obligations 37 payable solely from allocated tax proceeds which are incurred 38 by the redevelopment district for the purpose of financing or 39 refinancing the redevelopment of that allocation area. 40 (B) Establish, augment, or restore the debt service reserve for 41 bonds payable solely or in part from allocated tax proceeds in 42 that allocation area. 2025 IN 439—LS 7439/DI 134 6 1 (C) Pay the principal of and interest on bonds payable from 2 allocated tax proceeds in that allocation area and from the 3 special tax levied under section 27 of this chapter. 4 (D) Pay the principal of and interest on bonds issued by the 5 unit to pay for local public improvements that are physically 6 located in or physically connected to that allocation area. 7 (E) Pay premiums on the redemption before maturity of bonds 8 payable solely or in part from allocated tax proceeds in that 9 allocation area. 10 (F) Make payments on leases payable from allocated tax 11 proceeds in that allocation area under section 25.2 of this 12 chapter. 13 (G) Reimburse the unit for expenditures made by it for local 14 public improvements (which include buildings, parking 15 facilities, and other items described in section 25.1(a) of this 16 chapter) that are physically located in or physically connected 17 to that allocation area. 18 (H) Reimburse the unit for rentals paid by it for a building or 19 parking facility that is physically located in or physically 20 connected to that allocation area under any lease entered into 21 under IC 36-1-10. 22 (I) For property taxes first due and payable before January 1, 23 2009, pay all or a part of a property tax replacement credit to 24 taxpayers in an allocation area as determined by the 25 redevelopment commission. This credit equals the amount 26 determined under the following STEPS for each taxpayer in a 27 taxing district (as defined in IC 6-1.1-1-20) that contains all or 28 part of the allocation area: 29 STEP ONE: Determine that part of the sum of the amounts 30 under IC 6-1.1-21-2(g)(1)(A), IC 6-1.1-21-2(g)(2), 31 IC 6-1.1-21-2(g)(3), IC 6-1.1-21-2(g)(4), and 32 IC 6-1.1-21-2(g)(5) (before their repeal) that is attributable to 33 the taxing district. 34 STEP TWO: Divide: 35 (i) that part of each county's eligible property tax 36 replacement amount (as defined in IC 6-1.1-21-2 (before its 37 repeal)) for that year as determined under IC 6-1.1-21-4 38 (before its repeal) that is attributable to the taxing district; 39 by 40 (ii) the STEP ONE sum. 41 STEP THREE: Multiply: 42 (i) the STEP TWO quotient; times 2025 IN 439—LS 7439/DI 134 7 1 (ii) the total amount of the taxpayer's taxes (as defined in 2 IC 6-1.1-21-2 (before its repeal)) levied in the taxing district 3 that have been allocated during that year to an allocation 4 fund under this section. 5 If not all the taxpayers in an allocation area receive the credit 6 in full, each taxpayer in the allocation area is entitled to 7 receive the same proportion of the credit. A taxpayer may not 8 receive a credit under this section and a credit under section 9 39.5 of this chapter (before its repeal) in the same year. 10 (J) Pay expenses incurred by the redevelopment commission 11 for local public improvements that are in the allocation area or 12 serving the allocation area. Public improvements include 13 buildings, parking facilities, and other items described in 14 section 25.1(a) of this chapter. 15 (K) Reimburse public and private entities for expenses 16 incurred in training employees of industrial facilities that are 17 located: 18 (i) in the allocation area; and 19 (ii) on a parcel of real property that has been classified as 20 industrial property under the rules of the department of local 21 government finance. 22 However, the total amount of money spent for this purpose in 23 any year may not exceed the total amount of money in the 24 allocation fund that is attributable to property taxes paid by the 25 industrial facilities described in this clause. The 26 reimbursements under this clause must be made within three 27 (3) years after the date on which the investments that are the 28 basis for the increment financing are made. 29 (L) Pay the costs of carrying out an eligible efficiency project 30 (as defined in IC 36-9-41-1.5) within the unit that established 31 the redevelopment commission. However, property tax 32 proceeds may be used under this clause to pay the costs of 33 carrying out an eligible efficiency project only if those 34 property tax proceeds exceed the amount necessary to do the 35 following: 36 (i) Make, when due, any payments required under clauses 37 (A) through (K), including any payments of principal and 38 interest on bonds and other obligations payable under this 39 subdivision, any payments of premiums under this 40 subdivision on the redemption before maturity of bonds, and 41 any payments on leases payable under this subdivision. 42 (ii) Make any reimbursements required under this 2025 IN 439—LS 7439/DI 134 8 1 subdivision. 2 (iii) Pay any expenses required under this subdivision. 3 (iv) Establish, augment, or restore any debt service reserve 4 under this subdivision. 5 (M) Expend money and provide financial assistance as 6 authorized in section 12.2(a)(27) of this chapter. 7 (N) Expend revenues that are allocated for police and fire 8 services on both capital expenditures and operating expenses 9 as authorized in section 12.2(a)(28) of this chapter. 10 The allocation fund may not be used for operating expenses of the 11 commission. 12 (5) Except as provided in subsection (g), before June 15 of each 13 year, the commission shall do the following: 14 (A) Determine the amount, if any, by which the assessed value 15 of the taxable property in the allocation area for the most 16 recent assessment date minus the base assessed value, when 17 multiplied by the estimated tax rate of the allocation area, will 18 exceed the amount of assessed value needed to produce the 19 property taxes necessary to make, when due, principal and 20 interest payments on bonds described in subdivision (4), plus 21 the amount necessary for other purposes described in 22 subdivision (4). 23 (B) Provide a written notice to the county auditor, the fiscal 24 body of the county or municipality that established the 25 department of redevelopment, and the officers who are 26 authorized to fix budgets, tax rates, and tax levies under 27 IC 6-1.1-17-5 for each of the other taxing units that is wholly 28 or partly located within the allocation area. The county auditor, 29 upon receiving the notice, shall forward this notice (in an 30 electronic format) to the department of local government 31 finance not later than June 15 of each year. The notice must: 32 (i) state the amount, if any, of excess assessed value that the 33 commission has determined may be allocated to the 34 respective taxing units in the manner prescribed in 35 subdivision (1); or 36 (ii) state that the commission has determined that there is no 37 excess assessed value that may be allocated to the respective 38 taxing units in the manner prescribed in subdivision (1). 39 The county auditor shall allocate to the respective taxing units 40 the amount, if any, of excess assessed value determined by the 41 commission. The commission may not authorize an allocation 42 of assessed value to the respective taxing units under this 2025 IN 439—LS 7439/DI 134 9 1 subdivision if to do so would endanger the interests of the 2 holders of bonds described in subdivision (4) or lessors under 3 section 25.3 of this chapter. 4 (C) If: 5 (i) the amount of excess assessed value determined by the 6 commission is expected to generate more than two hundred 7 percent (200%) of the amount of allocated tax proceeds 8 necessary to make, when due, principal and interest 9 payments on bonds described in subdivision (4); plus 10 (ii) the amount necessary for other purposes described in 11 subdivision (4); 12 the commission shall submit to the legislative body of the unit 13 its determination of the excess assessed value that the 14 commission proposes to allocate to the respective taxing units 15 in the manner prescribed in subdivision (1). The legislative 16 body of the unit may approve the commission's determination 17 or modify the amount of the excess assessed value that will be 18 allocated to the respective taxing units in the manner 19 prescribed in subdivision (1). 20 (6) Notwithstanding subdivision (5), in the case of an allocation 21 area that is established after June 30, 2019, and that is located in 22 a redevelopment project area described in section 25.1(c)(3)(C) 23 of this chapter, an economic development area described in 24 section 25.1(c)(3)(C) of this chapter, or an urban renewal project 25 area described in section 25.1(c)(3)(C) of this chapter, for each 26 year the allocation provision is in effect, if the amount of excess 27 assessed value determined by the commission under subdivision 28 (5)(A) is expected to generate more than two hundred percent 29 (200%) of: 30 (A) the amount of allocated tax proceeds necessary to make, 31 when due, principal and interest payments on bonds described 32 in subdivision (4) for the project; plus 33 (B) the amount necessary for other purposes described in 34 subdivision (4) for the project; 35 the amount of the excess assessed value that generates more than 36 two hundred percent (200%) of the amounts described in clauses 37 (A) and (B) shall be allocated to the respective taxing units in the 38 manner prescribed by subdivision (1). 39 (c) For the purpose of allocating taxes levied by or for any taxing 40 unit or units, the assessed value of taxable property in a territory in the 41 allocation area that is annexed by any taxing unit after the effective 42 date of the allocation provision of the declaratory resolution is the 2025 IN 439—LS 7439/DI 134 10 1 lesser of: 2 (1) the assessed value of the property for the assessment date with 3 respect to which the allocation and distribution is made; or 4 (2) the base assessed value. 5 (d) Property tax proceeds allocable to the redevelopment district 6 under subsection (b)(4) may, subject to subsection (b)(5), be 7 irrevocably pledged by the redevelopment district for payment as set 8 forth in subsection (b)(4). 9 (e) Notwithstanding any other law, each assessor shall, upon 10 petition of the redevelopment commission, reassess the taxable 11 property situated upon or in, or added to, the allocation area, effective 12 on the next assessment date after the petition. 13 (f) Notwithstanding any other law, the assessed value of all taxable 14 property in the allocation area, for purposes of tax limitation, property 15 tax replacement, and formulation of the budget, tax rate, and tax levy 16 for each political subdivision in which the property is located is the 17 lesser of: 18 (1) the assessed value of the property as valued without regard to 19 this section; or 20 (2) the base assessed value. 21 (g) If any part of the allocation area is located in an enterprise zone 22 created under IC 5-28-15, the unit that designated the allocation area 23 shall create funds as specified in this subsection. A unit that has 24 obligations, bonds, or leases payable from allocated tax proceeds under 25 subsection (b)(4) shall establish an allocation fund for the purposes 26 specified in subsection (b)(4) and a special zone fund. Such a unit 27 shall, until the end of the enterprise zone phase out period, deposit each 28 year in the special zone fund any amount in the allocation fund derived 29 from property tax proceeds in excess of those described in subsection 30 (b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3) from property located in the enterprise zone 31 that exceeds the amount sufficient for the purposes specified in 32 subsection (b)(4) for the year. The amount sufficient for purposes 33 specified in subsection (b)(4) for the year shall be determined based on 34 the pro rata portion of such current property tax proceeds from the part 35 of the enterprise zone that is within the allocation area as compared to 36 all such current property tax proceeds derived from the allocation area. 37 A unit that has no obligations, bonds, or leases payable from allocated 38 tax proceeds under subsection (b)(4) shall establish a special zone fund 39 and deposit all the property tax proceeds in excess of those described 40 in subsection (b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3) in the fund derived from 41 property tax proceeds in excess of those described in subsection (b)(1), 42 (b)(2), and (b)(3) from property located in the enterprise zone. The unit 2025 IN 439—LS 7439/DI 134 11 1 that creates the special zone fund shall use the fund (based on the 2 recommendations of the urban enterprise association) for programs in 3 job training, job enrichment, and basic skill development that are 4 designed to benefit residents and employers in the enterprise zone or 5 other purposes specified in subsection (b)(4), except that where 6 reference is made in subsection (b)(4) to allocation area it shall refer 7 for purposes of payments from the special zone fund only to that part 8 of the allocation area that is also located in the enterprise zone. Those 9 programs shall reserve at least one-half (1/2) of their enrollment in any 10 session for residents of the enterprise zone. 11 (h) The state board of accounts and department of local government 12 finance shall make the rules and prescribe the forms and procedures 13 that they consider expedient for the implementation of this chapter. 14 After each reassessment in an area under a reassessment plan prepared 15 under IC 6-1.1-4-4.2, the department of local government finance shall 16 adjust the base assessed value one (1) time to neutralize any effect of 17 the reassessment of the real property in the area on the property tax 18 proceeds allocated to the redevelopment district under this section. 19 After each annual adjustment under IC 6-1.1-4-4.5, the department of 20 local government finance shall adjust the base assessed value one (1) 21 time to neutralize any effect of the annual adjustment on the property 22 tax proceeds allocated to the redevelopment district under this section. 23 However, the adjustments under this subsection: 24 (1) may not include the effect of phasing in assessed value due to 25 property tax abatements under IC 6-1.1-12.1; 26 (2) may not produce less property tax proceeds allocable to the 27 redevelopment district under subsection (b)(4) than would 28 otherwise have been received if the reassessment under the 29 reassessment plan or the annual adjustment had not occurred; and 30 (3) may decrease base assessed value only to the extent that 31 assessed values in the allocation area have been decreased due to 32 annual adjustments or the reassessment under the reassessment 33 plan. 34 Assessed value increases attributable to the application of an abatement 35 schedule under IC 6-1.1-12.1 may not be included in the base assessed 36 value of an allocation area. The department of local government 37 finance may prescribe procedures for county and township officials to 38 follow to assist the department in making the adjustments. 39 (i) The allocation deadline referred to in subsection (b) is 40 determined in the following manner: 41 (1) The initial allocation deadline is December 31, 2011. 42 (2) Subject to subdivision (3), the initial allocation deadline and 2025 IN 439—LS 7439/DI 134 12 1 subsequent allocation deadlines are automatically extended in 2 increments of five (5) years, so that allocation deadlines 3 subsequent to the initial allocation deadline fall on December 31, 4 2016, and December 31 of each fifth year thereafter. 5 (3) At least one (1) year before the date of an allocation deadline 6 determined under subdivision (2), the general assembly may enact 7 a law that: 8 (A) terminates the automatic extension of allocation deadlines 9 under subdivision (2); and 10 (B) specifically designates a particular date as the final 11 allocation deadline. 12 (j) If a redevelopment commission adopts a declaratory resolution 13 or an amendment to a declaratory resolution that contains an allocation 14 provision and the redevelopment commission makes either of the 15 filings required under section 17(e) of this chapter after the first 16 anniversary of the effective date of the allocation provision, the auditor 17 of the county in which the unit is located shall compute the base 18 assessed value for the allocation area using the assessment date 19 immediately preceding the later of: 20 (1) the date on which the documents are filed with the county 21 auditor; or 22 (2) the date on which the documents are filed with the department 23 of local government finance. 24 (k) For an allocation area established after June 30, 2025, 25 "residential property" refers to the assessed value of property that is 26 allocated to the one percent (1%) homestead land and improvement 27 categories in the county tax and billing software system, along with the 28 residential assessed value as defined for purposes of calculating the 29 rate for the local income tax property tax relief credit designated for 30 residential property under IC 6-3.6-5-6(d)(3). 2025 IN 439—LS 7439/DI 134
