Section 50IAC8-2-3. Allocation area changes; required information

   (a) The redevelopment commission must, before the first March 1 after the base assessment date, file with the county auditor a copy of the allocation area map, the confirmed resolution adopted by the redevelopment commission, lists of parcel identification numbers of real property in the allocation area, and names of owners of depreciable personal property in the allocation area (if personal property is included in the program). The redevelopment commission must file with the county auditor the same information before the March 1 that next follows the adoption of a resolution that increases the size of an allocation area. If a redevelopment commission changes the base assessment date in an allocation area, it must, before March 1 that next follows the adoption of the resolution changing the base assessment date, file a copy of the resolution adopted by the redevelopment commission with the county auditor. The county auditor must maintain a yearly record of assessed valuation of allocation area real and personal property as it is affected by the computations described in sections 7 through 10 of this rule.

  (b) If the redevelopment commission changes the base assessment date, the base assessment is determined as of the new base assessment date. Except as provided in IC 36-7-15.1-10.5 and IC 36-7-15.1-26.1 [IC 36-7-15.1-26.1 was repealed by P.L.146-2008, SECTION 812, effective July 1, 2008.] with respect to a metropolitan development commission, a redevelopment commission can adopt a resolution to change the base assessment date by using the same procedures for adoption of an allocation area resolution.

  (c) If the redevelopment commission adopts a resolution to increase the size of an allocation area, the base assessment is determined for the added area as if it were a separately declared allocation area.

  (d) If the redevelopment commission adopts a resolution to merge or consolidate existing allocation areas, the base assessment and base assessment date remain the same as they were before the merger or consolidation. However, the redevelopment commission may, in that resolution, designate a later base assessment date for any of the allocation areas that are merged or consolidated under the resolution. Before the March 1 that next follows the adoption of the resolution that consolidates existing allocation areas, the redevelopment commission must file with the county auditor a copy of the merger or consolidation resolution.
