value was zero ($0) based on a prior year's tax exempt status, the local governmental
unit's assessor shall determine the property's prior year actual taxable value as if the
property had not been tax exempt. A commercial facilities exemption certificate will
not be issued or frozen at a zero taxable value that is the result of a prior year's tax
exempt status.
(4) A commercial facilities exemption certificate will not be issued for a property
that is already included on another specific tax roll. Property covered under a
commercial facilities exemption certificate may not be included on any other specific
tax roll while receiving the commercial facilities exemption.
