(The “reset” may be revised by next state budget.) COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ASSOCIATION OF OHIO

  7. Local Government Fund • Three factors affect level of cuts particularly in SFY 12 • 25% cut first applied beginning in August 2011 – state revenue growth reflected in LGF distributions for first seven months of calendar year • From August 2011 through June 2012 all 88 county undivided local government funds to receive proportionate share of additional $ 50 million • During SFY 12 and SFY 13 each county undivided local government fund will receive no less than the smaller of $750,000 or the amount received during SFY 2011 COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ASSOCIATION OF OHIO

  10. TPP & Utility Reimbursement COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ASSOCIATION OF OHIO

  11. TPP & Utility Reimbursement • Total estimated combined budgetary loss to schools and local governments from accelerated phase out of tangible personal property (TPP) and public utility replacement payments is $587 million in SFY 2012 and $845 million in SFY 2013. Savings to state are equivalent amounts. • In CY 2010, counties received reimbursements from both sources of $297 million. Under state budget, reimbursements will be reduced to $165 million in SFY 12 and $110 million in SFY 2013 (p. 9-10) COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ASSOCIATION OF OHIO

  12. TPP & Utility Reimbursement • Savings to the state from accelerated reductions in reimbursements to counties form both sources (TPP & Utility) was estimated to be roughly $100 million per year in SFY and SFY 13. • These savings to the state are in addition to savings the state realizes as a result of the gradual phase out of TPP and Utility Payments under prior law. • Losses to counties would be an equivalent amount. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ASSOCIATION OF OHIO

  13. TPP & Utility Reimbursement • Budget accelerates phase-out of reimbursement for lost TPP and public utility tangible property taxes • TPP was eliminated by tax reform (2005), full reimbursement with Commercial Activity Tax (CAT) (2006-2010), old law provided phase down 2011-2018, • Electric and natural gas deregulation occurred in 1999 and 2000, kilowatt hour tax (KWH)and natural gas (MCF) tax created, in part to reimburse local governments for lost revenues COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ASSOCIATION OF OHIO

  14. TPP & Utility Reimbursement • In 2010, 100% of CAT devoted to local reimbursement for lost TPP, 70% schools, 30% other local governments • Under state budget, by 2020, 100% of CAT dedicated to State GRF • In 2010, 63% of kilowatt- hour (KWH) tax dedicated to state, 37% dedicated to schools and local governments • Under state budget, in 2012, 88% of KWH dedicated to state, 12% of KWH dedicated to local governments, by 2030, 100% dedicated to state COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ASSOCIATION OF OHIO

  15. TPP & Utility Reimbursement • Prior to state budget 69% of MCF revenues dedicated to schools, 31% dedicated to other local governments • In 2012 under budget, 100% of MCF tax dedicated to state GRF(approx. $66 million) • Beginning with second payment in 2011, reimbursement payments are phased out for TPP and utility property, but phase out is limited to no more than 2% of total resources each year COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ASSOCIATION OF OHIO

  16. TPP & Utility Reimbursement • For counties, for purposes of the phase out, qualifying levies are broken into five service functions: mental health and developmental disabilities, public health, senior services, children services, and other county levies, which includes county general fund • The phase out schedule for each of the five is calculated independently COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ASSOCIATION OF OHIO

  17. TPP & Utility Reimbursement • For the four defined services, total resources are: • Sum of their 2010 reimbursements under TPP and utility property • Collection year 2010 real and public utility property taxes • Rollback and homestead reimbursements • For the other category, total resources are: • Resources mentioned above • Base county sales tax (Excluding additional county sales tax) • county share of LGF for 2010 COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ASSOCIATION OF OHIO

  18. TPP & Utility Reimbursement • Beginning with the second payment in 2011, reimbursements are phased out at a rate of 2% of total resources each year • The 2% per year reduction is calculated and applies separately to TPP and Public Utility Personal Property so local jurisdictions could lose up to 4% in any given year until payments cease • The three payments per year under TPP reimbursement are reduced to two, one payment for 1/7 is still made in May with the August and October payments combined in to a single 6/7ths November 20th payment. The treasurer has until December 31 to ensure the payment is received by local jurisdictions. • The Public Utility Personal Property payments are made by February 28th and August 31st of each year. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ASSOCIATION OF OHIO

  19. TPP & Utility Reimbursement • If in any year the payment is less than 2% of total resources, then no payment is made • In 2013, the budget suspends the phase down of reimbursements for entities that are still receiving reimbursements (essentially any county service function with more than a 6% reliance on either TPP or Utility Personal Property reimbursement). The accelerated phase down may be resumed or changed with next state budget. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ASSOCIATION OF OHIO

  20. TPP & Utility Reimbursement • Many service functions do not have more than a 6% reliance on either TPP or public utility reimbursement and thus payments will be phased out by CY 2013 • For example, TPP reimbursement will be phased out for all but 6 counties with respect to “other service function” which includes county general fund • For public utility property reimbursement, all but 3 counties will be phased out in “other service function” by CY 2013 COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ASSOCIATION OF OHIO

  21. TPP & Utility Reimbursement • All local governments have until June 20, 2013 to make sure that the classification and amount of reimbursement payments are accurate before TPP and Public Utility payments become final. • If you have concerns or questions regarding any property tax levy listed on the Department of Taxation website, please email: TPP@tax.state.oh.us • For additional data, please use the following link to the Department website: http://tax.ohio.gov/channels/government/phase out.stm COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ASSOCIATION OF OHIO
