Qué contiene

Resumen con IA Currently, there is a limit on how much money from real estate transfer taxes can go into the state's housing trust fund each year. This bill removes that limit so all of that money can be sent to the fund instead of the state's general fund. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1

Under current law, percent of the real estate transfer tax receipts paid by county recorders to the treasurer of state are transferred to the housing trust fund in any one fiscal year, subject to a $3 million cap; moneys in excess of the cap are deposited in the general fund of the state. This bill eliminates the cap.

Description

House File 2163 eliminates an annual $3.0 million limitation on the amount of real estate transfer tax revenue that is deposited in the Housing Trust Fund. The change is effective beginning FY 2021.

Background

The real estate transfer tax is imposed on the transfer of real estate in the State. The tax is equal to $0.80 per $500 (or any fractional part of $500) of consideration paid as part of or a condition of the property transfer. As examples, the transfer of a $1,200 property would incur a tax of $2.40, while the transfer of a $1.0 million property would incur a tax of $1,600. The tax is paid to the county. Iowa Code section 428A.8 controls the division of the tax revenue. The county retains 17.25% of the tax revenue for deposit in the county general fund. The county remits the remaining 82.75% to the State. The State portion is deposited as follows:

  • Housing Trust Fund, 30.0%, up to a limit of $3.0 million each fiscal year.
  • Shelter Assistance Fund, 5.0%.
  • State General Fund, 65.0%, plus any Housing Trust Fund revenue in excess of $3.0 million. The following table provides a history of real estate transfer tax deposits for the past four fiscal years.

Assumption

Over the past 12 fiscal years (FY 2007 through FY 2019), the average annual rate of growth in real estate transfer tax has equaled 2.1%. That rate of growth is assumed for FY 2020 and future fiscal years.

In Millions

Fiscal Impact

Removing the Housing Trust Fund annual $3.0 million real estate tax revenue limit is estimated to increase Housing Trust Fund revenue and reduce net General Fund revenue by the following amounts:

  • FY 2021 = $4.3 million
  • FY 2022 = $4.4 million
  • FY 2023 = $4.6 million
  • FY 2024 = $4.7 million
  • FY 2025 = $4.9 million

The annual amounts are projected to increase modestly over time.
