receive reimbursement, the qualified community wind power
generator must file a claim for reimbursement in accordance
with this subsection. Reimbursement may not be issued to a
qualified community wind power generator under this paragraph
unless the contractor or subcontractor has previously
submitted to the bureau a certificate, signed by the
contractor or subcontractor, releasing the contractor's or
subcontractor's claim to the reimbursement. The certificate
must be in a format prescribed by the State Tax Assessor.

 
4. Limitations. Limitations on reimbursements made pursuant to
this section are governed by this subsection.

 
A. Reimbursements made by the State Tax Assessor pursuant to
this section are limited to taxes paid in connection with
sales of tangible personal property that occur within a
period of 5 years from the date the qualified community wind
power generator receiving the property is certified pursuant
to section 5219-AA or by December 31, 2011, whichever occurs
first.

 
B. Reimbursement pursuant to this section of taxes paid in
connection with the sale of tangible personal property
subsequently attached to real property may not be made when
those real property improvements:

 
(1) Are owned by more than one person prior to their
acquisition by the qualified community wind power
generator whose certification accompanies the
reimbursement claim pursuant to subsection 3; or

 
(2) Have been used for a business purpose by a person
other than the qualified community wind power generator
whose certification accompanies the reimbursement claim
pursuant to subsection 3.

 
5. Audit. The State Tax Assessor has the authority to audit
any claim filed under this section. If the assessor determines
that the amount of the claimed reimbursement is incorrect, the
assessor shall redetermine the claim and notify the claimant in

 
writing of the redetermination. If the claimant has received
reimbursement of an amount that the assessor concludes should not
have been reimbursed, the assessor may issue an assessment for
that amount within 3 years from the date the reimbursement claim
was filed or at any time if a fraudulent reimbursement claim was
filed. The claimant may seek reconsideration, pursuant to section
151, of the redetermination or assessment.
