SS/HCS/HB 1806 - This act increases the assessed valuation a county must maintain in order to move into a higher classification. The assessed valuation for counties of the first classification is increased from $600 million to $900 million. The assessed valuation for counties of the second classification is increased from $450 million to $600 million. All counties with an assessed valuation of less than $600 million will be counties of the third classification. However, counties of the second classification, which on August 28, 2010 have had an assessed valuation of at least $600 million for at least one year may, by resolution, instead choose to be a county of the first classification. The required assessed valuation for each classification shall be increased annually by an amount equal to any percentage change in the annual average of the consumer price index for all urban consumers or zero, whichever is greater. The state tax commission shall calculate and publish this amount so that it is available to all counties.
This act specifies that county classification changes shall become effective as provided for under Section 48.030.
The governing body of a municipality may annex a parcel of land within a research, development, or office park, as defined in Section 172.273 that is compact and contiguous to the existing municipal boundaries if the municipality receives the written consent of all the property owners within the area.
The city of Byrnes Mill shall not annex any territory adjacent to the city if the adjacent territory proposed for annexation does not contain any registered voters unless the city has obtained the written consent of all the property owners within such territory.
This act contains an emergency clause.
This act is similar to SB 455 (2009), HB 2172 (2010), SS/SCS/HCS/HB 1290 (2010), HB 2312 (2010), HB 1562 (2010), HB 2466 (2010), HCS/SS/SCS/SB 580 (2010), HCS/SCS/SB 700 (2010), and HCS/SCS/SB 887 (2010), and CCS/HCS/SS/SCS/SB 605 (2010).
