For the taxable year for which such increase is established, the amount of such refund shall be equal to 80% of the property tax attributable to such increase; for the taxable year next succeeding the taxable year for which such increase is established, the amount of such refund shall be equal to 50% of the property tax attributable to such increase; and for the second taxable year succeeding the taxable year for which such increase is established, the amount of such refund shall be equal to 25% of the property tax attributable to such increase.

(c) The secretary of revenue shall adopt rules and regulations necessary to effectively implement the provisions of this section, and shall devise forms necessary for the implementation of this section.
