Summary

The bill requires a county to obtain express permission from the county where the property is located before buying, leasing, or exchanging it, unless the acquisition is part of a joint project with another political subdivision. It also states that land a county owns outside its own borders remains taxable under the Property Tax Act unless a specific exemption applies. These rules shape how counties expand facilities and manage out‑of‑county property.
