FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials of the State Tax Commission assume Cass County's assessment fund would realize an increase in revenue. Officials assume this proposal changes the collection costs percentage from one-tenth of one percent to one-fifth of one percent.



Cass County officials did not respond.



Oversight assumes there would be a decrease in property tax income from local taxing authorities, and there would be a corresponding increase of revenue to the County's Assessment Fund.

DESCRIPTION



This act enables Cass County to adopt provisions of current law whereby it will be able to deposit an amount not greater than one-fifth of one percent of all ad valorem property tax collections on newly constructed property into the assessment fund of the county for collection costs.

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