(1) The attainable housing facilities tax is levied upon every owner of a qualified facility to which a certificate is issued under this act.
(2) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the amount of the attainable housing facilities tax on a new facility is determined each year by multiplying 1/2 of the average rate of taxation levied upon commercial, industrial, and utility property upon which ad valorem taxes are assessed as determined for the immediately preceding calendar year by the state board of assessors under section 13 of 1905 PA 282, MCL 207.13, by the current taxable value of the new facility after deducting the taxable value of the land.
(3) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the amount of the attainable housing facilities tax on a rehabilitated facility is determined each year by multiplying 1/2 of the average rate of taxation levied upon commercial, industrial, and utility property upon which ad valorem taxes are assessed as determined for the immediately preceding calendar year by the state board of assessors under section 13 of 1905 PA 282, MCL 207.13, by the current taxable value of the rehabilitated facility after deducting the taxable value of the land.
(4) Within 60 days after the granting of an attainable housing exemption certificate under section 6 for a new facility, if the state treasurer does not determine that reducing the number of mills levied under the state education tax act, 1993 PA 331, MCL 211.901 to 211.906, and used to calculate the specific tax under subsection (2) is necessary to provide an adequate supply of housing for income-qualified households in this state, the millage rate used to calculate the specific tax under subsection (2) shall be increased by 3 mills. If the state treasurer determines that further reducing the millage rate used to calculate the specific tax under subsection (2) is necessary to provide an adequate supply of housing for income-qualified households in this state, the state treasurer may exclude an additional 3 mills levied under the state education tax act, 1993 PA 331, MCL 211.901 to 211.906, from the millage rate used to calculate the specific tax under subsection (2).
(5) Notwithstanding subsections (2) and (3), the specific tax paid each year for that part of a qualified facility that is exempt from ad valorem property taxes under section 7 and not used as attainable housing property in the immediately preceding year must be equal to the amount of the ad valorem property taxes that would be paid on that portion of the qualified facility if the qualified facility were not exempt from ad valorem property taxes under section 7. The owner of the qualified facility must allocate the benefits of any tax exemption granted under this act exclusively to attainable housing property.
(6) The specific tax is an annual tax, payable at the same times, in the same installments, and to the same officer or officers as taxes imposed under the general property tax act, 1893 PA 206, MCL 211.1 to 211.155, are payable. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the officer or officers shall disburse the specific tax payments received by the officer or officers each year to and among this state, cities, school districts, counties, and authorities, at the same times and in the same proportions as required by law for the disbursement of taxes collected under the general property tax act, 1893 PA 206, MCL 211.1 to 211.155.
