Sec. 7. (a) If ownership of the model residence changes:

(1) a new owner that continues to use the property as a model residence may claim the deduction under this chapter; and

(2) the deduction may not be applied for an assessment date other than the assessment dates to which the deduction could have applied under section 2 of this chapter if ownership had not changed.

(b) A person who owns a model residence and claims a deduction under this chapter shall provide to the county auditor a notice that:

(1) informs the auditor of a transfer of the ownership of the model residence; and

(2) indicates whether the new owner is eligible to receive a deduction under this chapter.

The notice required by this subsection must be submitted to the county auditor at the same time that a sales disclosure form is filed under IC 6-1.1-5.5.
