§ 4712-105. Exemption schedule
(a) General rule.--A local taxing authority granting a tax exemption under this act may provide for tax exemption on the assessment attributable to the actual cost of new construction or improvements or up to any maximum cost uniformly established by the municipal corporation. The maximum cost shall uniformly apply to all eligible blighted property in the deteriorated area within the local taxing authority's jurisdiction.
(1) A local taxing authority shall be entitled to a return of its proportional share of taxes exempted under the provisions of this act if, within five years following completion of the new construction or improvements, there exists on the property a serious violation of a State law or a property maintenance code and the owner has taken no substantial steps to correct the violation within six months following notification of the violation and for which fines or other penalties or a judgment to abate or correct were imposed by a magisterial district judge or municipal court, or a judgment at law or in equity was imposed by a court of common pleas.
(2) At the time the agreement is entered into between a local taxing authority and the person who desires tax exemption, if the person has completed all requirements under section 6,1 the local taxing authorities shall file a lien against the tax-exempt properties at the rate of the estimated amount of assessment under subsection (b). The lien shall be forgiven by the local taxing authority at the end of the fifth year following the completion of the new construction or improvements if there have been no serious violations against the property that have not been corrected. The lien on the property shall transfer under subsection (d) in cases of sale or exchange of the property.
