of § 45-13-12, the director shall base it on the full value of all property except:
(1) That exempted from taxation by acts of the general assembly and reimbursed under § 45-13-5.1, which shall have its value calculated as if the payment in lieu of tax revenues
received pursuant to § 45-13-5.1, has resulted from a tax levy;
(2) That whose tax levy or assessed value is based on a tax treaty agreement authorized
by a special public law or by reason of agreements between a municipality and the
economic development corporation in accordance with § 42-64-20 prior to May 15, 2005, which shall not have its value included;
(3) That whose tax levy or assessed value is based on tax treaty agreements or tax stabilization
agreements in force prior to May 15, 2005, which shall not have its value included;
(4) That which is subject to a payment in lieu of tax agreement in force prior to May
15, 2005;
(5) Any other property exempt from taxation under state law;
(6) Any property subject to chapter 27 of title 44, taxation of Farm, Forest, and Open Space Land; or

a tangible personal property exemption, which shall have its value calculated as the
full value of the property minus the exemption amount.
(b) The tax levy of each municipality and fire district shall be adjusted for any real
estate and personal property exempt from taxation by act of the general assembly by
the amount of payment in lieu of property tax revenue anticipated to be received pursuant
to § 45-13-5.1 relating to property tax from certain exempt private and state properties, and for
any property subject to any payment in lieu of tax agreements, any tax treaty agreements
or tax stabilization agreements in force after May 15, 2005, by the amount of the
payment in lieu of taxes pursuant to such agreements.
(c) Fire district tax levies within a city or town shall be included as part of the total
levy attributable to that city or town.
