A COMMERCIAL VEHICULAR RENTAL REAL PROPERTY TAX
CLASS (This item was Deferred to the 1st Committee Meeting in
May 2022.)
Councilmember Chock moved to approve Bill No. 2828, seconded by
Councilmember DeCosta.
Committee Chair Evslin: This is the Commercial Vehicular Rental Real
Property Tax Property Tax Classification Bill that was deferred in December to give
time for the Administration to work with stakeholders. After speaking with the
Administration, they would like us to entertain an additional deferral as there are
several bills at the State Legislature that may impact rental car operations. They
are hoping that they can continue to monitor and track those bills while remaining
in communication with the rental car companies. Given that, the request would be
to defer until the end of the legislative session with a deferral to the first Committee
Meeting in May.
