SECTION 6 <br /> COUNTY GOVERNMENT/PROJECTED <br /> FISCAL IMPACTS OF PROJECT <br /> Tax Base - The tax base represents the increase in assessed property value expected each year as a result of the <br /> project development. The values are shown in 1,000's,and are derived from a formula which includes the market <br /> value of the proposed development and the assessment ratio. <br /> Example Market Value = $1,945,105, Assessment Ratio = .95, Equip. Tax = 5% <br /> 1) $1,945,105 x .95 = $1,847,850 <br /> 2) $1,847,850/1000 = $1,848 <br /> Revenues <br /> Property Tax -Derived from a formula which multiplies the tax base times the tax rate. Inflation rate is <br /> entered in for each year. <br /> Example Tax Base = $1,940,243, Tax Rate = .7460 per $100 valuation <br /> 1) $1,940,243 x .7460 = $1,447,421 <br /> 2) $1,447,421/100 = $14,474 <br /> Sales Tax -Sales tax is derived from a formula which multiplies the proposed square footage of the new <br /> development times the projected sales per square foot of the new development. This product is multiplied <br /> times the county sales tax rate to determine the amount of sales tax generated annually. There is no sales <br /> tax in this particular example. <br /> Equipment Tax - Equipment tax is derived from a formula which multiplies the assessed value of all <br /> personal property (equipment)times the tax rate times a percentage for depreciation. The product is then <br /> divided by 100 to reflect per$100 valuation. <br /> Example Assessed Personal Property Value = $3,236,561, Tax Rate = .7460 per $100 <br /> valuation <br /> $3,236,561 x .7460 x .90/ $100 = $21,730 <br /> Fees - Revenues from fees are included in the first year's total. This figure is taken from the total in <br /> Section 5. <br /> Expenditures-First year expenditures are taken from the breakdown by category in Section 4. Expenditures for <br /> subsequent years include an inflation factor. <br /> Example Community Maintenance expenditure for 1993 = $64, Inflation rate = .0290 <br /> $64 x .0290 = $1.856, $64 + $1.856 = $65. <br />
