AI Summary
- Establishes the Bayou Casotte Industrial Zone in unincorporated Jackson County, Mississippi, with specific geographic boundaries filed with the Secretary of State
- Exempts all real and personal property within the zone from municipal ad valorem (property) taxation if any municipality annexes territory within the zone boundaries
- Legislature finds the zone is industrial in character, suited for industrial expansion rather than residential or retail development, and that municipal annexation would impose additional tax burdens without providing commensurate services
- Property within the zone remains subject to Jackson County ad valorem taxes and Pascagoula-Gautier Municipal School District taxes, but not to any annexing municipality's property taxes
- Amends Mississippi Code Section 27-31-1 to add the zone exemption to the existing list of ad valorem tax exemptions
Legislative Description
