ASSUMPTION



Officials of the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume this legislation allows the fire district of Raytown to increase the local sales tax. DOR assumes it will have a minimal administrative impact on the Division of Taxation.



If the fire protection district is contiguous with an existing city or county boundary, there will be no cost to implement the tax. If the district is not the same as an existing city or county, there will be minimal programming required (692 hours for a cost of $23,085) to create a shape file to define the district.



Officials of the Department of Public Safety, Fire Safety assume no fiscal impact to their agency.



Officials from the City of Raytown did not respond to our fiscal note request.
