The budget is one of two topics in the City Council’s work session, which will be part of Monday’s special meeting.

In his Jan. 15 memo to the mayor and council, City Administrator Joe Helfenberger said the proposed 2009/2010 budget “would increase the city’s portion of the property tax rate by 6.47 cents per thousand dollars of assessed valuation before the rollback.”

“After you factor in the state-ordered residential rollback, the average residential property taxpayer will see a 1.4 percent increase in the city portion of their property tax bill,” Helfenberger said.

Affordable housing assistance from city may be on its way – I am kinda wondering if the stock markets are set for another tumble in the near future.

For example, a residential property taxpayer with a home valued at $100,000 would expect to pay $9.06 more in 2009 than in 2008.

The proposed budget emphasizes targeting city resources toward street, sewer and bridge improvements, according to the city administrator.

“The budget also targets cutting costs through improved efficiencies such as additional automation,” he said. “At the same time, the city is seeking opportunities for tax base expansion, such as potential annexation of the airport/beltway area.”

Several “catastrophic health insurance claims” triggered an unbudgeted 10 percent increase in health insurance rates on July 1, 2008, and will require another 10 percent increase in those rates on July 1, 2009, to keep the fund solvent, Helfenberger noted.

The council will also discuss some Cedar Creek Golf Course issues.

During the meeting’s action portion, council members most likely will vote on:

• Appointing Bankers Trust Co., N.A., of Des Moines, to serve as paying agent, note registrar and transfer agent; and, approving other agreements related to $4.8 million in general obligation capital loan notes.

• Approving the tax exemption certificate and authorizing Heffernan to sign on behalf of the city for $4.8 million in general obligation capital loan notes and levying a tax to pay the notes.

The deadline to pay property taxes without a penalty is nearing, and most Henderson County homeowners have beaten the cutoff date.

Those who don’t have their money in by the January 31 deadline will be charged a seven percent penalty in February, according to information from Henderson County Tax Assessor/Collector Milburn Chaney’s office.

County collections are now at 63.68 percent and have been running about a percentage point above last year’s pace. In October, Chaney’s office sent out bills totaling $65,748,757.28 for all entities served by the county tax office. To date $47,482,332.82 has been remitted by taxpayers.

Though the county offers a small discount for early payment, Chaney said, most of taxpayers take care of their obligation in January.

After February, the penalty will increase by two percent each month through July, when the rate tops out at 18 percent. After July, an attorney’s fee will be added to the cost.

Aside from going to the Tax Office in the Henderson County Courthouse Annex on Prairieville Street, homeowners can also make credit card payments on the upgraded county Web site. In 2008, the county entered a contract with NET Data to update the software and make it possible to view property tax information without going to Chaney’s office.

There are just a few days left for Jackson County property owners to pay their property taxes without a penalty.

The deadline for property tax payment is Wednesday, Dec. 31, according to Revenue Commissioner Ron Crawford.

Crawford said the Revenue Commission Office will be open Monday, Dec. 29 from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 30 from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. and Wednesday, Dec. 31 from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.

If you mail in your payment, it must be postmarked by Dec. 31 to avoid penalty.

Crawford added that property owners can also make their payments online at www.jacksoncountyrevenue.com. Paying online will actually allow owners an extra day without penalty if they pay before midnight on Jan. 1.

Crawford said his office was slightly ahead in receiving payments as compared to last year.

“That’s pretty good considering folks tend to wait until the last week,” he said.

Property taxes became due on Oct. 1. Taxes not paid by Dec. 31 become delinquent. By February, a citation fee is sent out. In March, the revenue office advertises a tax sale for three weeks.

Crawford said the actual tax sale takes place at the end of April.

Deadline to contest property tax valuation nears – Delaware Gazette – Deadline to contest property tax valuation nearsDelaware Gazette, OHThe March 31 deadline for Delaware County residents to contest the most recent property tax revaluation is approaching, Delaware County Auditor George Kaitsa said.

Becoming delinquent on your taxes, you become subject to a $2 per day, penalty per parcel, plus interest.

Crawford also said anyone looking to apply for a Homestead Exemption must do that by Dec. 31.

A Homestead Exemption is a tax break a property owner may be entitled to if he or she owns a single-family residence and occupies it as their primary residence on the first day of the tax year for which they are applying.

A Homestead Exemption must be requested, it is not automatic.

The following are the four types of Homestead Exemptions:

1. Regular Homestead is available to all citizens of Alabama who own and occupy a single-family residence; including manufactured homes, as their primary residence and use this property for no other purposes. The amount of the exemption is $4,000 in assessed value for state taxes and $2,000 in assessed value for county taxes.

2. Homestead Exemption 2 is for persons over age 65 whose adjusted gross income is less than $12,000 on their last State Tax Return. This exemption is for all State taxes and County taxes up to $5,000 in assessed value. Those who are permanently blind are entitled to this exemption also.

3. Homestead 3 is an exemption from all property taxes for person over age 65, who have a net taxable income of $7,500 or less on their last Federal Income Tax Return. Also, persons who are permanently and totally disabled, regardless of income, are entitled to this exemption. To prove disability, you must furnish a statement from two different sources. (Physicians’ letters, Veterans Administration and Social Security are all acceptable.)

4. Homestead Exemption 4 is for persons over 65, regardless of income. This exemption is for the total assessed value of state tax and up to $2,000 of assessed value of county tax.

The state could raise taxes by as much as $1.75 billion to help deal with its gargantuan budget hole.

That includes potential temporary sales tax increases to the tune of $1.5 billion and delaying the permanent repeal of Arizona’s $250 million equalization rate. Real estate groups and chambers of commerce want that property tax repealed, but that could be put off for two or three years because of the budget deficit.

Tim Lawless, state president of the National Association of Industrial & Office Properties, wants the equalization rate repealed, but is open to delaying it considering the state’s financial crunch.

“We’re certainly open to this as a fallback,” Lawless said. Even if the repeal were delayed, it would raise the property tax bills of businesses and homeowners for a couple of years, he said.

“It still would be a short-term tax increase,” he said.

The state faces a $4.5 billion budget deficit for the current and next fiscal years, and lawmakers are looking at spending cuts as well as tax options to deal with the crisis.

The equalization rate was repealed temporarily in 2005 and is slated to be reinstated at the end of this year without further action. Its permanent erasure has the backing of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry and other business and real estate organizations. The tax is assessed on both residential and commercial properties.

Advocates of a permanent repeal say the return of the equalization rate would amount to a significant property tax increase on businesses and homeowners, and would hurt the already strained economy.

No Agreement

The tax increases would take the form of statewide referendums asking voters for temporary increases for two or three years. The state sales tax also could be expanded to food, which currently is not taxed at the state level.

In addition, the state might eliminate a host of tax exemptions for service providers and professional service firms and raise the state sales tax rate from 5.6 percent to 6.6 percent.

The sales tax increase could raise as much as $1 billion a year, and expanding the sales tax base to include food and other exempted sales could bring in $500 million.

A plan forwarded by the Children’s Action Alliance seeks to extend the state sales tax to services offered by hairdressers, nail salons, auto and home repair providers, pet groomers, trade schools and others. The alliance also wants the equalization rate to be reinstated, arguing that children’s health, education and welfare programs will be cut without increased revenue.

Those opposed to increasing sales and other taxes to solve the budget deficit say doing so during a recession will further strap consumers and business.

“Raising taxes in a down economy is a huge mistake,” said Sean Noble, CEO of Noble Associates, a Phoenix-based political consulting firm.

“Government shouldn’t rely on taxpayers, who are also struggling, to fix the problem when government should be tightening its belt,” he said. “Families don’t have someone to bail them out, so they shouldn’t be expected to bail out government that has been on a spending binge.”

Cutting deals

There still is support in the Arizona Legislature to repeal the $250 million equalization rate, Lawless said. Those familiar with early budget haggling say there could be plenty of trade-offs as the state looks to balance its hemorrhaging books, including business interests agreeing to accept the sales tax increases in exchange for a permanent repeal of the equalization rate.
