| | | (1)__The property is entitled to an exemption under | | section 656, subsection 1, paragraph E but has not yet | | been certified for exemption under that paragraph; |
|
| | | (2)__The property has been placed in service after the | | December 1st immediately preceding April 1st of the tax | | year for which the exemption is sought but prior to | | April 1st of the property tax year for which the | | exemption is sought; and |
|
| | | (3)__The taxpayer has submitted the required | | application for certification to the Commissioner of | | Environmental Protection. |
|
| | | The exemption under this section continues for property that | | meets the requirements of subparagraphs (1), (2) and (3) | | only until the certification for exemption under section | | 656, subsection 1, paragraph E has been granted.__If the | | assessor denies an exemption on the ground that the property | | in question is entitled to exemption under section 656, | | subsection 1, paragraph E and the taxpayer appeals the | | denial, the assessor shall, at the taxpayer's request, allow | | the taxpayer up to one year to obtain a statement from the | | Commissioner of Environmental Protection that the property | | at issue is not exempt under section 656, subsection 1, | | paragraph E.__If the taxpayer timely produces such a | | statement or otherwise demonstrates that the property is not | | exempt under section 656, subsection 1, paragraph E, the | | assessor shall allow the exemption under this section. |
|
| | | 4.__Reporting.__On or before May 15th of each year, a taxpayer | | claiming an exemption under this section shall file a report with | | the assessor of the taxing jurisdiction in which the property | | would otherwise be subject to taxation.__The report must itemize | | the property as to which exemption is claimed and must be made on | | a form prescribed by the State Tax Assessor, who shall furnish | | copies of the form to each municipality in the State.__The | | assessor may require the taxpayer to sign the form and make oath | | to its truth and may require an answer in writing to all | | reasonable inquiries as to the nature, situation and value of the | | property for which exemption is requested.__Refusal or neglect to | | answer such inquiries and subscribe the same bars an appeal, but | | such answers are not conclusive upon the assessor. |
|
| | | A failure by the taxpayer to comply with the provisions of this | | subsection disqualifies the property involved from exemption.__If | | an exemption has already been granted and the State Tax Assessor | | then determines that the property is not entitled to exemption, a | | supplemental assessment must be made with respect to the property | | in compliance with section 713, without regard to the limitations |
