Property Tax Exemption for Student Housing Repealed

The JFC just approved a motion to repeal a property tax exemption for student housing. Assembly Co-chair Robin Vos said it was an earmark approved in the last budget.

The exemption was for a) facilities owned by nonprofits; b) facilities that house no more than 300 where at least 90 percent of the residents are students enrolled at UW-Madison; and c) facilities that offer support services and outreach programs to its residents, the public or private institution of higher education at which the student residents are enrolled.

The LFB note says the exemption currently only extends to the student housing component of Pres House, a religious center and student housing facility operate as a ministry of the Presbyterian Church at UW-Madison.

Under the motion, the tax exemption is repealed on Jan. 1, 2012.
