What’s in it
Current law requires that for budget years beginning on or after July 1, 2020, each county and city is, prior to filing of the entity’s proposed budget, required to adopt a resolution establishing, in the case of a county, the total maximum property tax dollars that may be certified for levy for general county services and the total maximum property tax dollars that may be certified for levy for rural county services; and in the case of a city, the total maximum property tax dollars that may be certified for the enumerated city government purposes and funds.
Read the full explanation
If the sum of the total maximum property tax dollars for the budget year specified in the resolution exceeds 102 percent of the sum of the current fiscal year’s actual property taxes certified for levy, the governing body shall be required to adopt the resolution by a two-thirds majority of the membership of the governing body. This bill excludes for counties amounts certified for the payment of employee benefits, including benefits under Code chapter 97B or other pension or retirement systems, and for cities amounts certified under the city’s trust and agency fund for payment of pension and employee benefits. The bill applies to county and city budgets for fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2021.
