Bill Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 441.21, subsection 4, Code Supplement
  1  2 1997, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    4.  For valuations established as of January 1, 1979, the
  1  4 percentage of actual value at which agricultural and
  1  5 residential property shall be assessed shall be the quotient
  1  6 of the dividend and divisor as defined in this section.  The
  1  7 dividend for each class of property shall be the dividend as
  1  8 determined for each class of property for valuations
  1  9 established as of January 1, 1978, adjusted by the product
  1 10 obtained by multiplying the percentage determined for that
  1 11 year by the amount of any additions or deletions to actual
  1 12 value, excluding those resulting from the revaluation of
  1 13 existing properties, as reported by the assessors on the
  1 14 abstracts of assessment for 1978, plus six percent of the
  1 15 amount so determined.  However, if the difference between the
  1 16 dividend so determined for either class of property and the
  1 17 dividend for that class of property for valuations established
  1 18 as of January 1, 1978, adjusted by the product obtained by
  1 19 multiplying the percentage determined for that year by the
  1 20 amount of any additions or deletions to actual value,
  1 21 excluding those resulting from the revaluation of existing
  1 22 properties, as reported by the assessors on the abstracts of
  1 23 assessment for 1978, is less than six percent, the 1979
  1 24 dividend for the other class of property shall be the dividend
  1 25 as determined for that class of property for valuations
  1 26 established as of January 1, 1978, adjusted by the product
  1 27 obtained by multiplying the percentage determined for that
  1 28 year by the amount of any additions or deletions to actual
  1 29 value, excluding those resulting from the revaluation of
  1 30 existing properties, as reported by the assessors on the
  1 31 abstracts of assessment for 1978, plus a percentage of the
  1 32 amount so determined which is equal to the percentage by which
  1 33 the dividend as determined for the other class of property for
  1 34 valuations established as of January 1, 1978, adjusted by the
  1 35 product obtained by multiplying the percentage determined for
  2  1 that year by the amount of any additions or deletions to
  2  2 actual value, excluding those resulting from the revaluation
  2  3 of existing properties, as reported by the assessors on the
  2  4 abstracts of assessment for 1978, is increased in arriving at
  2  5 the 1979 dividend for the other class of property.  The
  2  6 divisor for each class of property shall be the total actual
  2  7 value of all such property in the state in the preceding year,
  2  8 as reported by the assessors on the abstracts of assessment
  2  9 submitted for 1978, plus the amount of value added to said
  2 10 total actual value by the revaluation of existing properties
  2 11 in 1979 as equalized by the director of revenue pursuant to
  2 12 section 441.49.  The director shall utilize information
  2 13 reported on abstracts of assessment submitted pursuant to
  2 14 section 441.45 in determining such percentage.  For valuations
  2 15 established as of January 1, 1980, and each year thereafter,
  2 16 the percentage of actual value as equalized by the director of
  2 17 revenue and finance as provided in section 441.49 at which
  2 18 agricultural and residential property shall be assessed shall
  2 19 be calculated in accordance with the methods provided herein
  2 20 including the limitation of increases in agricultural and
  2 21 residential assessed values to the percentage increase of the
  2 22 other class of property if the other class increases less than
  2 23 the allowable limit adjusted to include the applicable and
  2 24 current values as equalized by the director of revenue and
  2 25 finance in this subsection, except that any references to six
  2 26 percent in this subsection shall be four percent.
  2 27    Sec. 2.  APPLICABILITY.  This Act applies to assessment
  2 28 years beginning on or after January 1, 1999.  
  2 29                           EXPLANATION
  2 30    The bill eliminates the provision that if the increase in
  2 31 the actual value of agricultural or residential property does
  2 32 not increase by 4 percent from the previous year then the
  2 33 other class of property's actual value cannot increase more
  2 34 than the other class.
  2 35    The bill applies to valuations determined as of January 1,
  3  1 1999, and subsequent assessment years.
