1 AN ACT
2 RELATING TO LIMITATION ON BUDGET REQUESTS OF TAXING DISTRICTS; AMENDING SEC-
3 TION 63-802, IDAHO CODE, TO ALLOW A TAXING DISTRICT TO INCLUDE FIFTY PER-
4 CENT OF THE VALUE OF ANNEXATION DURING THE PREVIOUS CALENDAR YEAR FOR
5 PROPERTY TAX BUDGET LIMITATION PURPOSES; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND PRO-
6 VIDING RETROACTIVE APPLICATION.
7 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
8 SECTION 1. That Section 63-802, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
9 amended to read as follows:
10 63-802. LIMITATION ON BUDGET REQUESTS -- LIMITATION ON TAX CHARGES --
11 EXCEPTIONS. (1) Except as provided in subsection (3) of this section for tax
12 year 1995, and each year thereafter, no taxing district shall certify a budget
13 request for an amount of property tax revenues to finance an annual budget
14 that exceeds the greater of:
15 (a) The dollar amount of property taxes certified for its annual budget
16 for any one (1) of the three (3) tax years preceding the current tax year,
17 whichever is greater, which amount may be increased by a growth factor of
18 not to exceed three percent (3%) plus the amount of revenue that would
19 have been generated by applying the levy of the previous year, not includ-
20 ing any levy described in subsection (4) of this section, to any increase
21 in market value subject to taxation resulting from new construction or
22 change of land use classification as evidenced by the value shown on the
23 new construction roll compiled pursuant to section 63-301A, Idaho Code;
24 and by fifty percent (50%) of the value of annexation during the previous
25 calendar year, as certified by the state tax commission for market values
26 of operating property of public utilities and by the county assessor; or
27 (b) The dollar amount of property taxes certified for its annual budget
28 during the last year in which a levy was made; or
29 (c) The dollar amount of the actual budget request, if the taxing dis-
30 trict is newly created except as may be provided in subsection (1)(h) of
31 this section; or
32 (d) In the case of school districts, the restriction imposed in section
33 33-802, Idaho Code; or
34 (e) In the case of a nonschool district for which less than the maximum
35 allowable increase in the dollar amount of property taxes is certified
36 for annual budget purposes in any one (1) year, such a district may, in
37 any following year, recover the foregone increase by certifying, in addi-
38 tion to any increase otherwise allowed, an amount not to exceed one hun-
39 dred percent (100%) of the increase originally foregone. Said additional
40 amount shall be included in future calculations for increases as allowed;
41 or
42 (f) In the case of cities, if the immediately preceding year's levy sub-
43 ject to the limitation provided by this section, is less than 0.004, the
2
1 city may increase its budget by an amount not to exceed the difference
2 between 0.004 and actual prior year's levy multiplied by the prior year's
3 market value for assessment purposes. The additional amount must be
4 approved by sixty percent (60%) of the voters voting on the question at an
5 election called for that purpose and held on the date in May or November
6 provided by law, and may be included in the annual budget of the city for
7 purposes of this section; or
8 (g) A taxing district may submit to the electors within the district the
9 question of whether the budget from property tax revenues may be increased
10 beyond the amount authorized in this section, but not beyond the levy
11 authorized by statute. The additional amount must be approved by sixty-six
12 and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) or more of the voters voting on the ques-
13 tion at an election called for that purpose and held on the May or Novem-
14 ber dates provided by section 34-106, Idaho Code. If approved by the
15 required minimum sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voters
16 voting at the election, the new budget amount shall be the base budget for
17 the purposes of this section; or
18 (h) When a nonschool district consolidates with another nonschool dis-
19 trict or dissolves and a new district performing similar governmental
20 functions as the dissolved district forms with the same boundaries within
21 three (3) years, the maximum amount of a budget of the district from prop-
22 erty tax revenues shall not be greater than the sum of the amounts that
23 would have been authorized by this section for the district itself or for
24 the districts that were consolidated or dissolved and incorporated into a
25 new district; or
26 (i) In the instance or case of cooperative service agencies, the restric-
27 tions imposed in sections 33-315 through 33-318, Idaho Code.
28 (2) In the case of fire districts, during the year immediately following
29 the election of a public utility or public utilities to consent to be provided
30 fire protection pursuant to section 31-1422, Idaho Code, the maximum amount of
31 property tax revenues permitted in subsection (1) of this section may be
32 increased by an amount equal to the current year's taxable value of the con-
33 senting public utility or public utilities multiplied by that portion of the
34 prior year's levy subject to the limitation provided by subsection (1) of this
35 section.
36 (3) No board of county commissioners shall set a levy, nor shall the
37 state tax commission approve a levy for annual budget purposes which exceeds
38 the limitation imposed in subsection (1) of this section, unless authority to
39 exceed such limitation has been approved by a majority of the taxing
40 district's electors voting on the question at an election called for that pur-
41 pose and held pursuant to section 34-106, Idaho Code, provided however, that
42 such voter approval shall be for a period of not to exceed two (2) years.
43 (4) The amount of property tax revenues to finance an annual budget does
44 not include revenues from nonproperty tax sources, and does not include reve-
45 nue from levies that are voter approved for bonds, override levies or supple-
46 mental levies, plant facilities reserve fund levies, school emergency fund
47 levies or for levies applicable to fifty percent (50%) of the market value of
48 newly annexed property or for levies applicable to new construction as evi-
49 denced by the value of property subject to the occupancy tax pursuant to sec-
50 tion 63-317, Idaho Code, for the preceding tax year.
51 SECTION 2. An emergency existing therefor, which emergency is hereby
52 declared to exist, this act shall be in full force and effect on and after its
53 passage and approval, and retroactively to January 1, 2006.

7 63-802B. TRUTH IN TAXATION -- NOTICE OF INCREASES IN PROPERTY TAXES. (1)
8 No taxing district shall certify to the board of county commissioners or to
9 the state tax commission an amount of property tax revenues to finance its
10 annual budget that exceeds by more than three percent (3%) of the amount of
11 the property tax rate or of the property tax revenues certified to finance
12 that district's annual budget for the tax year preceding the current tax year
13 until the taxing district shall advertise its intent to adopt such a budget or
14 increase in tax rate in a newspaper qualified for publication of legal
15 notices by that taxing district under section 60-106, Idaho Code.
16 (2) The notice shall be published in a prominent location in the main
17 news section of the newspaper once each week for the two (2) weeks preceding

24 for typical homes with a one hundred thousand dollar ($100,000) taxable
25 value, typical farms with a one hundred fifty thousand dollar ($150,000)
26 taxable value and typical businesses with a two hundred thousand dollar

33 of property tax revenue to fund its annual budget and the percentage of

39 required, that the hearings shall be open to the public, and, whether or

18 the same information is given and providing that the notice shall be mailed at
19 least fourteen (14) days before the budget hearing set pursuant to section
20 63-802A, Idaho Code, or if no budget hearing is required, the adoption of the
21 final budget.

23 ments relating to content or form of the notice required by this section.
24 (7) No direct or collateral action attacking or otherwise questioning the
25 validity of any notice under this section shall be brought in any court by any
26 person for any cause whatsoever, after the expiration of thirty (30) days from
27 the adoption of the budget to which the notice related and the regularity of
28 such notice shall be conclusively presumed.

52 deliver to the equitable titleholder a true copy of the valuation assessment
53 notice on or before the second Monday in June.
