NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT TO MARKET VALUE FOR ASSESSMENT PURPOSES UPON 47 TERMINATION OF A REVENUE ALLOCATION AREA. (1) A school district that shall 48 adjust its market value for assessment purposes in accordance with the provi- 49 sions of section 33-802 2., Idaho Code, relating to termination of a revenue 50 allocation area, shall advertise its action by publishing in at least the 51 newspaper of largest paid circulation published in the county of the district, 52 or if there is no such newspaper, then in a newspaper published nearest to the 53 district where the advertisement is required to be published. 3 1 (2) For purposes of this section, the definition of "newspaper" shall be 2 as established in sections 60-106 and 60-107, Idaho Code; provided further, 3 that the newspaper of largest circulation shall be established by the state- 4 ment of average annual paid weekday circulation listed on the newspaper's 5 sworn statement of ownership that was filed with the United States post office 6 on a date most recently preceding the date on which the advertisement required 7 in this section is to be published. The advertisement shall be run when the 8 school district ascertains that it will adjust its market value for assessment 9 purposes in accordance with the provisions of section 33-802 2., Idaho Code, 10 relating to termination of a revenue allocation area, and shall be published 11 once a week for two (2) weeks following action by the board of trustees. 12 (3) The form and content of the notice shall be substantially as follows: 13 NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX ADJUSTMENT BY SCHOOL BOARD 14 The (insert name of the school district) hereinafter the "District," has 15 increased its market value for assessment purposes as of December 31, ...., by 16 the amount of the increment value of the (insert name of Redevelopment Agency 17 Revenue Allocation Area) on such date, in accordance with the provisions of 18 Section 33-802, Idaho Code, because the revenue allocation area gave notice of 19 termination pursuant to Section 50-2903, Idaho Code, and as a result thereof 20 property taxes on the incremental value of the revenue allocation area will 21 not be collected and distributed to the District.

That Section 33-1002D, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby 26 amended to read as follows: 27 33-1002D. PROPERTY TAX REPLACEMENT. The purpose of this section is to 28 replace a portion of the authorized school maintenance and operation property 29 tax levy with state sales tax receipts. As used in this section, the term 30 "property tax computation ratio" shall mean a ratio determined by dividing the 31 district's certified property tax maintenance and operation budget by the 32 actual or adjusted market value for assessment purposes as such values existed 33 on December 31 of the previous calendar year, together with the increment 34 value, as defined in section 50-2903, Idaho Code, if applicable under the cir- 35 cumstance described in section 33-802 2., Idaho Code, relating to termination 36 of a revenue allocation area. 37 (1) (a) In the case of a school district that had a property tax computa- 38 tion ratio of not less than four-tenths of one percent (.4%) in tax year 39 1994, that school district shall receive from the appropriations made for 40 that purpose, an amount equal to the greater of the district's actual or 41 adjusted market value for assessment purposes as such valuation existed on 42 December 31 of the previous calendar year, together with the increment 43 value, as defined in section 50-2903, Idaho Code, if applicable under the 44 circumstance described in section 33-802 2., Idaho Code, relating to ter- 45 mination of a revenue allocation area, multiplied by one-tenth of one per- 46 cent (.1%). 47 (b) In the case of a school district that had a property tax computation 48 ratio of less than four-tenths of one percent (.4%) in tax year 1994, the 49 greater of the 1992, 1993 or 1994 property tax computation ratio less 50 three-tenths of one percent (.3%) shall be designated the district's base 51 multiplier. In no case shall the base multiplier be less than zero (0). 4 1 Four-tenths of one percent (.4%) less the greater of the district's 1992, 2 1993 or 1994 property tax computation ratio shall be designated the 3 district's adjustment factor. In no case shall the adjustment factor be 4 greater than one-tenth of one percent (.1%) or less than zero (0). Each 5 school district's actual multiplier shall be the base multiplier plus one- 6 fifth (1/5) of the adjustment factor in tax year 1995, the base multiplier 7 plus two-fifths (2/5) of the adjustment factor in tax year 1996, the base 8 multiplier plus three-fifths (3/5) of the adjustment factor in tax year 9 1997, the base multiplier plus four-fifths (4/5) of the adjustment factor 10 in tax year 1998, and the base multiplier plus the adjustment factor in 11 tax year 1999 and beyond. Each school district shall receive, from the 12 appropriations made for that purpose, an amount equal to the district's 13 actual or adjusted market value for assessment purposes as such valuation 14 existed on December 31 of the previous calendar year, together with the 15 increment value, as defined in section 50-2903, Idaho Code, if applicable 16 under the circumstance described in section 33-802 2., Idaho Code, relat- 17 ing to termination of a revenue allocation area, multiplied by the 18 district's actual multiplier. 19 (c) The preceding provisions of this subsection notwithstanding, appro- 20 priations from the state for the value of one-tenth of one percent (.1%) 21 of the greater of the district's actual or adjusted market value for 22 assessment purposes as such valuation existed on December 31 of the previ- 23 ous calendar year, together with the increment value, as defined in sec- 24 tion 50-2903, Idaho Code, if applicable under the circumstance described 25 in section 33-802 2., Idaho Code, relating to termination of a revenue 26 allocation area, shall not exceed seventy-five million dollars 27 ($75,000,000) in any fiscal year. If the amount school districts would 28 otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the preceding provisions of 29 this subsection exceeds seventy-five million dollars ($75,000,000), then 30 each school district shall receive its share of seventy-five million dol- 31 lars ($75,000,000) based on the formulas contained in this section. 32 (2) (a) Participation in this property tax reduction program is voluntary 33 for a charter district. If a charter district participates, in addition to 34 the provisions of subsection (1) of this section it shall not have a prop- 35 erty tax computation ratio that is above three-tenths of one percent 36 (.3%) or the district's property tax computation ratio in tax year 1994, 37 less one-tenth of one percent (.1%), whichever is greater. 38 (b) If in any year the charter district's property tax computation ratio 39 used to calculate its maintenance and operation budget is increased above 40 the limit specified in this subsection the district shall not be eligible 41 for the distribution pursuant to subsection (1) of this section for that 42 year. 43 (3) Limitations imposed upon a school district's property tax computation 44 ratio under the provisions of this section do not apply to any levy approved 45 by electors of the school district as provided by law. 46 (4) Distributions calculated as provided in this section shall be made to 47 school districts of this state in two (2) equal installments on the due dates 48 as specified in section 63-903(1), Idaho Code, for the property taxes being 49 replaced. 50 (5) For purposes of section 33-1002, Idaho Code, moneys distributed pur- 51 suant to this section shall not be included in determining total state funds.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RS 14991 The bill amends Section 33-802 to provide that a school district in which a tax increment area is terminated may add back the tax increment value to its market value for purposes of determining the proper amount of its dollar certification for its M & O budget, and makes conforming amendments to Section 33-1002D.
