FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



In response to a previous version of this proposal, officials from the State Tax Commission, the Cole County Assessor's Office, and the Boone County Clerk's Office assumed the proposal would have no impact on their organizations.



Officials from St. Louis County, Greene County, Cass County, Taney County, and Callaway County did not respond to this proposal.



Oversight assumes this proposal could have an impact on Taney and Callaway Counties beginning in August, 2003 for 2002 taxes. Beginning in 2004 for 2003 taxes, the proposal could have an impact on other counties which qualify for this additional County Assessment Fund withholding in the future. Oversight assumes this proposal would have no impact on the state.

DESCRIPTION



The proposal would allow certain first class counties to retain a larger percentage of a portion of the assessed valuation. All counties which become counties of the first classification after September 1, 2000, shall continue to deduct, and deposit in the assessment fund, one percent of all ad valorem taxes on the first five hundred million dollars of assessed valuation, and one-half percent collected on the remainder. The one-percent fee shall be assigned among the political subdivisions by the assessor, who shall determine the percentage of total valuation in the county divided into five hundred million dollars. The collector shall withhold one percent of that percentage of each political subdivision's property taxes, and one-half percent of the remainder, for the assessment fund.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
