16 Legislation on Property Taxes Sent to the Secretary of State for November Ballot SCR 1012 Personal Property Tax Exemption Current Constitutional provision Legislature authority Property used for agricultural purposes or in a trade or business $50,000 full cash value per taxpayer with inflation indexing ($68,079 in FY 2014) Page 15
17 Legislation on Property Taxes SCR 1012 Personal Property Tax Exemption (cont.) Current Statutory provision applicability Agricultural Shopping centers Golf courses Manufacturers, assemblers or fabricators Communications Locally assessed commercial and industrial EXCLUDES most centrally valued personal property Page 16
18 Legislation on Property Taxes SCR 1012 Personal Property Tax Exemption (cont.) Proposed Constitutional change Legislative authority - SAME Property used for agricultural purposes or in a trade or business - SAME Full cash value amount equal to annual earnings of 50 state (AZ) workers per taxpayer ($2.4 million) Property initially acquired during or after 2013 Potential impacts Taxpayer shifts Increased state aid in FY 2015 Increased business investment in personal property Page 17
19 Legislation on Property Taxes Sent to the Secretary of State for November Ballot SCR 1025 Assessed Value Growth Current Constitutional provision For centrally valued property, no distinction between primary and secondary and no limitation on property value growth No limitation on growth of secondary property values for locally assessed property Locally assessed primary property value annual growth limited to greater of 10% or 25% of difference between prior year primary and current year secondary values Primary value may not exceed secondary value (full cash value) Page 18

Proposed Constitutional change For centrally valued property, no distinction between primary and secondary and no limitation on property value growth - SAME Eliminates distinction between primary and secondary value for locally assessed property Limits annual property value growth for taxation purposes to 5%, but value for taxation may not exceed full cash value Effective taxes levied beginning FY 2016 Page 19
21 Legislation on Property Taxes SCR 1025 Assessed Value Growth (cont.) Potential impacts Less taxpayer shifts among locally assessed properties May limit bonding capacity (secondary property value) Stabilizes QTR and SETR rates (primary property value) Page 20
22 Legislation on Property Taxes No legislation at all FY 2013 QTR and SETR Increased 10.76% Based on 9.72% decrease in existing primary property values statewide FY 2013 QTR $ / $ per $100 of assessed valuation $ / $ increase from FY 2012 FY 2013 SETR $ per $100 of assessed valuation $ increase from FY 2012 Page 21
23 Legislation on Property Taxes QTR/SETR Increases required by Truth in Taxation Initial concept was to lower the QTR and SETR when property values were rising To keep the total amount raised from existing property about the same To discourage new state spending by preventing state aid from decreasing Now it requires the QTR and SETR to increase To keep the total amount raised from existing property about the same To prevent the cost of state aid from increasing Page 22
24 Impact of QTR Increase A QTR increase reduces equalization assistance This causes an increase in the primary property tax rate (in a state aid district) The actual impact on taxpayers will depend on: Other factors that caused the tax rate to change from the prior year (either increasing or decreasing the impact of the QTR increase) The percentage change in the district s primary tax rate compared to the percentage change in the taxpayer s property value Page 23
25 Impact of QTR Increase For simple state aid districts Taxpayer school district primary property taxes increase if property value change is positive or less negative than -9.72% Taxpayer school district primary property taxes decrease if property value change is more negative than -9.72% Simple means District primary property tax rate is equal to QTR No items outside RCL No adjacent ways levy No excess cash to work off No delinquent property tax collections to recoup Page 24
26 Other Factors in Tax Rate Changes An unusually low or high tax rate last year Unusually large or negative cash balance State aid withholding or repayment Tax judgments or delinquent taxes Changes in district-wide Primary AV For state aid districts, affects the tax rate for items outside the RCL, such as desegregation For non-state aid districts, district PAV decreases cause tax rate increases Page 25
27 Other Factors in Tax Rate Changes Budget increases caused by reductions in formula cuts for FY 2013 (increased spending over FY 2012 levels), the transportation adjustment or increases in enrollment Increase primary tax rates in non state-aid districts Do NOT impact primary tax rates in state aid districts (paid by increases in equalization assistance) Page 26
28 Summary of Tax Rate Changes Primary Tax Rate Secondary Tax Rate FY FY Difference % Change 10.6% 17.0% Main reasons for change The Legislature increased the QTR by 0.38 Our cash balance was lower than last year because of low tax collections Our SAV decreased by 19% Our override was about the same but our bond payment was lower so the total secondary levy was lower Page 27
29 Discussion of Factors Impacting Primary Property Tax Rates FY 2012 PRIMARY TAX RATES Change in QTR Change in Items Outside RCL Adjacent Ways Levy Changes Budget Increases or Decreases (non-state aid districts only) Cash Balance Changes Tax Judgments or Delinquent Taxes State Aid Withholding or Repayment Unusually High/Low Prior Year Tax Rate Change in District Primary Assessed Value TAX RATE PRESSURE INCREASE DECREASE X TOTAL PRIMARY TAX RATE Black Items tax rate pressure same direction Red Italicized Items tax rate pressure opposite direction Page 28
30 Impact of Tax Rate Increases on Taxpayers Even if district-wide property values are declining in your district, some tax bills will increase when tax rates increase Property values do not change uniformly within a district (or within the state) The value of some properties will not have declined or not declined enough to offset the rate increase Page 29
31 Consider the Total Tax Bill Some taxpayers will expect you to explain their total tax bill, not just the school district portion Tax increases or decreases for other jurisdictions will compound or offset school district tax changes Some changes will be caused by the same factors that affected your tax rates Some changes will be caused by different factors The $0.05 SETR increase will add to the total primary property tax rate Page 30
