| 11 | purposes shall be totally exempt from ad valorem taxation. |
| 12 | (2) All property owned by an exempt entity, including |
| 13 | educational institutions, and used predominantly for exempt |
| 14 | purposes shall be exempted from ad valorem taxation to the |
| 15 | extent of the ratio that such predominant use bears to the |
| 16 | nonexempt use. |
| 17 | (3) All tangible personal property loaned or leased by a |
| 18 | natural person, by a trust holding property for a natural |
| 19 | person, or by an exempt entity to an exempt entity for public |

| 21 | valorem taxation if the property is loaned or leased for no |
| 22 | consideration or for nominal consideration. |

|
| 24 | For purposes of this section, each use to which the property is |
| 25 | being put must be considered in granting an exemption from ad |
| 26 | valorem taxation, including any economic use in addition to any |
| 27 | physical use. For purposes of this section, property owned by a |
| 28 | limited liability company, the sole member of which is an exempt |
| 29 | entity, shall be treated as if the property were owned directly |
| 30 | by the exempt entity. This section does not apply in determining |
| 31 | the exemption for property owned by governmental units pursuant |
| 32 | to s. 196.199. |
