Section 9954-C - Code compliance(a) General rule.--A person or qualified business shall be precluded from claiming any exemption, deduction, abatement or credit provided for in this article if that person or qualified business owns real property in a strategic development area and the real property is not in compliance with all applicable State and local zoning, building and housing laws, ordinances or codes.(b) Opportunity to achieve compliance.--The person or qualified business who is not in compliance under subsection (a) shall have until December 31 of the calendar year following designation of the real property as part of a strategic development area to be in compliance in order to claim any State exemptions, deductions, abatements or credits for that year. If full compliance is not attained by December 31 of that calendar year, the person or qualified business is precluded from claiming any exemption, deduction or credit for that calendar year, whether or not compliance is achieved in a subsequent calendar year. The political subdivision may extend the time period in which a person or qualified business must come into compliance with a local ordinance or building code for a period not to exceed one year if the political subdivision determines that the person or qualified business has made and shall continue to make a good faith effort to come into compliance and that an extension will enable the person or qualified business to achieve full compliance. Qualified political subdivisions are required to notify the Department of Revenue in writing of all persons or qualified businesses not in compliance with this subsection within 30 days following the end of each calendar year.1971, March 4, P.L. 6, No. 2, art.
