13.32 	Statutes, section 273.13, subdivision 24, that is located in a county that includes an area 
13.33 	that would qualify to be designated as a "disaster or emergency area" under Minnesota 
13.34 	Statutes, section 273.1231, if the designation were to be based solely on the damages to 
14.1 	properties resulting from the floods and irrespective of executive council approval; or (2) 
14.2 	any property that suffered damage of 50 percent or more as a result of the floods.
14.3 	(b) To qualify for this extended due date for the second half payment: (1) the 
14.4 	taxpayer must have been unable to make the payment due to circumstances related to the 
14.5 	floods; and (2) the taxpayer must have paid the first half of the payable 2010 taxes by May 
14.6 	16, 2010, and must pay the second half of the payable 2010 taxes by December 30, 2010.
14.7 	(c) If the second half of the payable 2010 property taxes is paid after December 30, 
14.8 	2010, then all penalties that would have occurred since the due date under Minnesota

14.12 	under this section are met.

14.13 	Sec. 20. AGRICULTURAL HOMESTEADS EXTENDED.
 14.14 	Agricultural land and buildings that were homestead property under Minnesota

14.16 	remain classified agricultural homesteads for assessment years 2011 and 2012 if:
14.17 	(1) the property owner abandoned the homestead dwelling located on the agricultural 
14.18 	homestead as a result of damage caused by the floods;
14.19 	(2) the property is located in an area designated, and approved by the executive 
14.20 	council, as a "disaster or emergency area" under Minnesota Statutes, section 273.1231, 
14.21 	based on damages to properties caused by the floods;
14.22 	(3) the agricultural land and buildings remain under the same ownership for the 
14.23 	current assessment year as existed for the 2010 assessment year;
14.24 	(4) the dwelling occupied by the owner is located in this state and is within 50 miles 
14.25 	of one of the parcels of agricultural land that is owned by the taxpayer; and
14.26 	(5) the owner notifies the county assessor that the relocation was due to the floods, 
14.27 	and the owner furnishes the assessor any information deemed necessary by the assessor 
14.28 	in verifying the change in homestead dwelling. For taxes payable in 2012, the owner 
14.29 	must notify the assessor by December 1, 2011. Further notifications to the assessor are 
14.30 	not required if the property continues to meet all the requirements in this paragraph and 
14.31 	any dwellings on the agricultural land remain uninhabited.

14.32 	Sec. 21. ABATEMENT AND CREDIT APPLICATIONS WAIVED.
 14.33 	(a) Notwithstanding Minnesota Statutes, section 273.1232, subdivision 1, by 
14.34 	November 1, 2010, each assessor shall cause to be reassessed the properties in their 
15.1 	jurisdiction located in an area that would qualify to be designated as a "disaster or 
15.2 	emergency area" under Minnesota Statutes, section 273.1231, if the designation were to 
15.3 	be based solely on the damages to properties caused by the floods and irrespective of 
15.4 	executive council approval.
15.5 	(b) Notwithstanding contrary provisions contained in Minnesota Statutes, sections 
15.6 	273.1233 to 273.1235, the requirements in those sections for an application by the 
15.7 	property owner or property taxpayer are waived for properties located in an area that is 
15.8 	designated, and approved by the executive council, as a "disaster or emergency area" 
15.9 	under Minnesota Statutes, section 273.1231, as a result of the damages to properties
