BUDGET MODELING Historical Data Sensitivity Analysis Property Tax Cap Overview
Property Tax Cap Total Levy to Support Proposed Budget Tax Levy Limit + Coming School Year Exemptions = Maximum Allowable Tax Levy
Tax Levy Limit Prior Year Tax Levy X Tax Base Growth Factor + PILOTs (Prior Year) - Prior Year Exemptions (Not ERS & TRS) = Adjusted Prior Year Tax Levy X Allowable Levy Growth Factor (lesser of 2% or CPI) - PILOTs (receivable in coming year) + Allowable Carryover = TAX LEVY LIMIT
Coming School Year Exemptions • Pension Costs: Increase in Employer Contribution Rates by More Than 2% over Prior Year • Exemption = % over 2% X Salary Base = Exempt Amount (i.e. 2.6% increase, .6% excludable portion) .006 X $20,000,000 = $120,000 (Exempt Amount) • You would perform this calculation for both TRS and ERS
Property Tax Cap Summary • Taxpayers are still voting on the spending plan (appropriations) • Taxpayers will vote on the TAX LEVY LIMIT prior to EXEMPTIONS • Property Tax Cap is in effect through the 2016-2017 Fiscal Year
