As a result, the Property Division has moved these properties owned by non-regulated entities from Tax Class 3 to Tax Class 4, leaving only a few properties owned by traditional utility companies in the utility property tax class. The change benefits the non-regulated companies. While properties in Class 4 and Class 3 both assessed at 45% of market value, Class 4 has a lower tax rate and Class 4 assessment changes are phased-in over five years, whereas assessment changes in Class 3 are not.
