    Chapter 1b:

      Section: 58:1b-23: Tax exemption; projects and other property; exceptions; bonds; exemption from local zoning

           a. All projects and other property of the authority is declared to be public property devoted to an essential public and governmental function and purpose and shall be exempt from all taxes and special assessments of the State or any political subdivision thereof; provided, however, that when any part of the project site not occupied or to be occupied by facilities of the project is leased by the authority to another whose property is not exempt and the leasing of which does not make the real estate taxable, the estate created by the lease and the appurtenances thereto shall be listed as the property of the lessee thereof and be assessed and taxed as real estate. All bonds issued pursuant to this act are declared to be issued by a body corporate and politic of the State and for an essential public and governmental purpose and these bonds, and the interest thereon and the income therefrom, and all funds, revenues, income and other moneys received or to be received by the authority and pledged or available to pay or secure the payment of the bonds, or interest thereon, shall be exempt from taxation except for transfer inheritance and estate taxes.

b. Any project constructed, maintained or operated by the authority shall be exempt from compliance with local zoning regulations, but the authority shall wherever practicable adhere to the regulations.
