Source of revenue increase:

 

Increase in ad valorem property tax assessment rate from 11.5 percent to 13.5 percent for “industrial” property. Increase in ad valorem property tax assessment rate from 9.5 percent to 11.5 percent for “all other property”.

 

Assumptions:

 

  1. Increase in assessment rates would increase property tax revenues collected by the counties, including local resources for school funding, and the 12 mill state share that goes to the School Foundation Program.

 

  1. Counties would also experience property tax revenue increases in other funding areas such as municipalities, community college districts, and special districts.

 

  1. Increase in assessment rate from 11.5 percent to 13.5 percent for “industrial” property would increase county property tax collections by an estimated $17.4 million per year, beginning in FY05. Increase in assessment rate from 9.5 percent to 11.5 percent for “all other property” would increase county property tax collections by an estimated $39.6 million per year, beginning in FY05. Estimates based on 2002 property tax assessment and 2002 average mill levy of 65 mills.
