. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this article,
the tax collector of any county that is designated by the Governor to
be in a state of emergency or disaster due to a major misfortune or
calamity and is therefore an eligible county for tax relief, as
defined in Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 194) of Part 2, may
defer for a period of one year payments under an installment plan if
all of the following conditions are met:
(1) The installment plan was already in existence at the time
deferral is requested by the assessee or the agent of the assessee.
(2) The assessee or the agent of the assessee can establish to the
satisfaction of the tax collector that the assessee incurred
substantial disaster damage as defined in Section 194 in connection
with his or her property as a result of the disaster.
(3) The assessee or the agent of the assessee files an application
for deferral with the tax collector on or before September 1 of the
following fiscal year.
(4) The assessee is not receiving any other relief relating to the
disaster.
(b) This section does not preclude the assessment of interest in
connection with the deferral of any installment payment. Any interest
so assessed shall be due and payable together with the deferred
installment payment.
(c) For purposes of this section, "substantial business losses"
means net business losses incurred by the assessee after accounting
for the assessee's receipt of any federal disaster aid, state
disaster aid, related insurance loss claim payments, or property tax
relief under Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 194) of Part 2.
