Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The stated purpose of this bill is to correct the definition of “used and occupied exclusively for residential purposes” in both West Virginia Code §11-4-3, which defines certain terms for assessment of real property for property tax purposes, and West Virginia Code §11-6B-2, which defines certain terms for purposes of homestead property tax exemption. The loss of revenue to the State and local governments cannot be determined; however, the revenue impact would be minimal. There would be no additional administrative costs.
