10-6-35.2. Discretionary formula for reduced taxation of new structures and additions--Partially constructed structures. Any structure classified pursuant to § 10-6-35.1, 10-6-35.21, 10-6-35.22, 10-6-35.24, or 10-6-35.25 shall, following construction, be valued for taxation purposes in the usual manner. However, the board of county commissioners of the county where the structure is located, may adopt any formula for assessed value to be used for tax purposes. The formula may include for any or all of the five tax years following construction all, any portion or none of the assessed valuation for tax purposes. The board of county commissioners of the county where the structure is located may, if requested by the owner of the structure, not apply the discretionary formula and the full assessment shall be made without application of the formula. In waiving the formula for the structure of one owner, the board of county commissioners is not prohibited from applying the formula for subsequent new structures. The assessed valuation during any of the five years may not be less than the assessed valuation of the property in the year preceding the first year of the tax years following construction.
Any structure that is partially constructed on the assessment date may be valued for tax purposes pursuant to this section and the valuation may not be less than the assessed valuation of the property in the year preceding the beginning of construction. During any period of time that the property is valued for tax purposes pursuant to this section, the period of time may include the years when the property is partially constructed.
Thereafter the property shall be assessed at the same percentage as is all other property for tax purposes.
