WA HB2610

Nonprofit housing providers retain property tax exemptions when transferring property to another nonprofit organization for uses that also qualify for exemption under the chapter, preventing loss of exempt status during temporary transitions between qualifying community purposes.

Removes the exemption under RCW 84.36.049 (nonprofit affordable housing development) from the list of exemptions excluded from general nonprofit property use requirements, allowing those properties more flexibility in temporary community uses.

Eliminates the annual renewal declaration requirement for nonprofits receiving the affordable housing development exemption under RCW 84.36.049, reducing administrative burden while maintaining requirements for other nonprofit property exemptions.

Applies to taxes levied for collection in 2027 and thereafter, with certain provisions taking effect January 1, 2033, and others expiring on that date.

Amends RCW 84.36.805, 84.36.049, and 84.36.815 to align exemption qualification rules and renewal requirements across different nonprofit housing provider categories.
