Sec. 39.2. (a) This section applies to a county having a population of more than two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) and less than three hundred thousand (300,000).

     (b) As used in this section, “designated taxpayer” means any taxpayer designated by the commission in a declaratory resolution adopted or amended under section 15 or 17.5 of this chapter and with respect to which the commission finds that taxes to be derived from the taxpayer’s depreciable personal property in the allocation area, in excess of the taxes attributable to the base assessed value of that personal property, are reasonably expected to exceed in one (1) or more future years the taxes to be derived from the taxpayer’s real property in the allocation area in excess of the taxes attributable to the base assessed value of that real property.

     (c) The allocation provision of a declaratory resolution may modify the definition of “property taxes” under section 39(a) of this chapter to include taxes imposed under IC 6-1.1 on the depreciable personal property of designated taxpayers, in accordance with the procedures and limitations set forth in this section and section 39 of this chapter. If such a modification is included in the resolution for purposes of section 39 of this chapter, the term “base assessed value” with respect to the depreciable personal property of designated taxpayers means, subject to section 39(j) of this chapter, the net assessed value of all the depreciable personal property as finally determined for the assessment date immediately preceding:

(1) the effective date of the modification, for modifications adopted before July 1, 1995; and

(2) the adoption date of the modification for modifications adopted after June 30, 1995;

as adjusted under section 39(h) of this chapter.
