Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(1) The department of revenue shall prepare and provide to the department of public health and human services a statement of potential tax liability.

(2)(a) Except as provided in subsection (2)(b), for the purposes of determining potential tax liability, the department of revenue shall treat nonprofit hospital property as class four commercial property pursuant to 15-6-134. The department of revenue shall calculate the property tax using the prior year estimated taxable value and the prior year mills levied by each taxing jurisdiction in which the nonprofit hospital is located.

(b) The department of revenue may not include a property owned by a nonprofit hospital in its calculation to determine potential tax liability if the hospital pays property taxes on that property.

(3) If a nonprofit hospital owns real property in multiple counties, the department of revenue shall prepare a single statement that reflects the total potential tax liability of all the nonprofit hospital's real property.

(4) The department of revenue shall adopt rules providing a process for a nonprofit hospital to dispute the determination of assessed or taxable value of nonprofit hospital property used to establish the potential tax liability.

(5) For the purposes of this section, “potential tax liability” means the amount of property taxes a nonprofit hospital would have owed on its real property in the prior tax year if the nonprofit hospital had not been exempt from taxation under 15-6-201.
