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, the assessment ratio and a percentage for personal (equipment) tax. <br /> Example Market Value = $1,899,819, Assessment Ratio = .7379, Equip. Tax = 5% <br /> 1) $1,899,819 * .7379 = $1,401,876 <br /> 2) $1,401,876 * .05 = $70,094 <br /> 3) $1,401,876 + $70,094 = $1,471,969 <br /> 4) $1,471,969/1000 = $1,472 <br /> Revenues <br /> Property Tax- Derived from a formula which multiplies the tax base times the tax rate. Inflation rate <br /> is entered in for each year. <br /> Example Tax Base = $1,472,000, Tax Rate = .71 per $100 valuation <br /> 1) $1,472,000 * .71 = $1,045,120 <br /> 2) $1,045,120/100 = $10,451 <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 <br /> multiplied times the county sales tax rate to determine the amount of sales tax generated annually. <br /> Example Square footage = 44,690, Sales tax per sq. ft. = $110.58, County Sales Tax <br /> Rate = .02, County Government's Percentage of Sales Tax = .61,Percentage <br /> of Total Sales Tax to Operating = .50. <br /> 1) 44,690 * $110.58 * .02 * .61 = $60,290 <br /> 2) .50 * $60,290 = $30,145 <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. The product is then divided by 100 to reflect per$100 <br /> valuation. <br /> Example Assessed Personal Property Value = $611,453, Tax Rate = .71 per $100 <br /> valuation <br /> $611,453 * .71/$100 = $4,341 <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 /> 10 <br />
