Through January 15, 2014, property owners can apply for a property tax credit on industrial, commercial and railroad classed parcels.
One credit is available for each qualified property unit. A property unit consists of contiguous parcels of the same classification that are owned by the same person and operated by that person for a common use and purpose.
A property owner need only fill out the application once as it will be applicable in subsequent years. If a property owner misses the January 15, 2014 deadline they can apply in subsequent years.
Application must be filed with the city or county assessor where the property is located. Copies are available at your County Courthouses and online here. http://co.black-hawk.ia.us/departme.nsf/F48EE0B3E331F78B86256704007A4926/163A0FD97DB5A7F286257C0D00686564?OpenDocument
