(1)(a) Upon application by a taxpayer, the department of environmental quality shall determine whether a facility or equipment qualifies for a tax abatement under 15-24-3111 or rules adopted under 15-24-3116. If the department determines that a facility or equipment qualifies for abatement or a classification, it shall issue a certification of eligibility.
(b) An application for certification must be made on forms available from the department.
(c) Certification remains in effect only as long as substantial compliance with this part continues.
(2) The department of environmental quality shall identify and track compliance with this part in the use of certified property. The department may revoke a certification for failure to maintain substantial compliance with eligibility requirements in 15-24-3111 or with rules adopted pursuant to 15-24-3116. Revocation of a certificate must be reported to the department of revenue within 30 days of revocation.
(3) If a taxpayer's certification is revoked, the taxpayer forfeits the abatement or classification under 15-6-157 or 15-6-158. Upon revocation, the property must be assessed at 100% of its taxable value beginning on January 1 of the year or years for which the certification is revoked. Any remaining abatement must be forfeited. The taxpayer is immediately liable for any additional taxes, penalty, and interest resulting from the revocation.
(4) A taxpayer that has forfeited any portion of its abatement because of revocation may not reapply for an abatement under this part.
(5) A taxpayer aggrieved by a determination made by the department of environmental quality or the department of revenue has the right to the review procedures in 15-1-211, to mediation under 15-1-212, and to a hearing under Title 2, chapter 4, part 6.
