  1  1    Section 1.  Section 444.1, Code 1995, is amended by adding
  1  2 the following new unnumbered paragraph:
  1  3    NEW UNNUMBERED PARAGRAPH.  Notwithstanding any other
  1  4 provision, all taxing districts in the state authorized to
  1  5 certify or levy a tax on real property shall, for each fiscal
  1  6 year, certify to the county auditor or board of supervisors
  1  7 the percentage of the budget for which the tax will be levied
  1  8 against the assessed valuation of land subject to tax and the
  1  9 percentage of the budget that will be levied against the
  1 10 assessed valuation of the taxable real property other than
  1 11 land.  If a taxing district has a limit on the rate of the
  1 12 levy, that limit shall only mean that the total amount of
  1 13 property tax revenues that the taxing district may collect
  1 14 from all taxable real property equals the product of that levy
  1 15 rate limit times the total assessed value of all taxable real
  1 16 property.
  1 17    Sec. 2.  This Act applies to property taxes levied for
  1 18 fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 1995, which are due
  1 19 and payable during fiscal years beginning on or after July 1,
  1 20 1996.  
  1 21                           EXPLANATION
  1 22    This bill allows a taxing district to set the percentage of
  1 23 its budget, for which a real property tax levy is authorized,
  1 24 that is to be collected from the tax on the land and the
  1 25 percentage of its budget that is to be collected from the tax
  1 26 on all other taxable real property other than land.  The bill
  1 27 also provides that if the taxing district has a levy limit,
  1 28 this levy limit only means that the total amount of property
  1 29 tax revenues that may be collected equals the product of the
  1 30 levy limit times the total assessed valuation of all taxable
  1 31 real property.
  1 32    The bill applies to property taxes levied for fiscal years
  1 33 beginning on or after July 1, 1995, which are due and payable
  1 34 during fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 1996.
