PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 441.16, unnumbered paragraph 7, Code
  1  2 2001, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    Any tax for the maintenance of the office of assessor and
  1  4 other assessment procedure shall be levied only upon the
  1  5 property in the area assessed by said that assessor and such
  1  6 the tax levy shall not exceed forty and one-half cents per
  1  7 thousand dollars of assessed taxable value in assessing areas
  1  8 where the valuation upon which the tax is levied does not
  1  9 exceed ninety-two million, six hundred thousand five hundred
  1 10 fifty-five million dollars; thirty-three and three-fourths
  1 11 cents per thousand dollars of assessed taxable value in
  1 12 assessing areas where the valuation upon which the tax is
  1 13 levied exceeds ninety-two million, six hundred thousand five
  1 14 hundred fifty-five million dollars and does not exceed one
  1 15 hundred eleven million, one hundred twenty thousand seven
  1 16 hundred million dollars; twenty-seven cents per thousand
  1 17 dollars of assessed taxable value in assessing areas where the
  1 18 valuation upon which the tax is levied exceeds one hundred
  1 19 eleven million, one hundred twenty thousand seven hundred
  1 20 million dollars.  The county treasurer shall credit the sums
  1 21 received from such this levy to a separate fund to be known as
  1 22 the "assessment expense fund" and from which fund all expenses
  1 23 incurred under this chapter shall be paid.  In the case of a
  1 24 county where there is more than one assessor the treasurer
  1 25 shall maintain separate assessment expense funds for each
  1 26 assessor.  For the 2003 calendar year and each subsequent odd-
  1 27 numbered calendar year, the taxable value amounts in assessing
  1 28 areas specified in this paragraph shall be multiplied by a
  1 29 cumulative adjustment factor for that calendar year.
  1 30    "Cumulative adjustment factor" means the product of the
  1 31 annual adjustment factor for the 2001 calendar year and all
  1 32 annual adjustment factors for subsequent calendar years.  The
  1 33 cumulative adjustment factor applies to the fiscal year
  1 34 beginning in the calendar year for which the latest annual
  1 35 adjustment factor has been determined.
  2  1    The annual adjustment factor for the 2001 calendar year is
  2  2 one hundred percent.  For each subsequent calendar year, the
  2  3 annual adjustment factor equals the annual inflation factor
  2  4 for the calendar year, in which the fiscal year begins, as
  2  5 computed in section 422.4 for purposes of the individual
  2  6 income tax.
  2  7    The director of revenue and finance shall compute the two
  2  8 adjustment factors and notify the assessors of the changes in
  2  9 the appropriate taxable value amounts.
  2 10    Sec. 2.  EFFECTIVE AND APPLICABILITY DATES.  This Act,
  2 11 being deemed of immediate importance, takes effect upon
  2 12 enactment and applies to property taxes due and payable in
  2 13 fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2001.  
  2 14                           EXPLANATION
  2 15    Under current law the levy rate on taxable property for the
  2 16 maintenance of the assessor's office and other assessment
  2 17 procedures are as follows:  41 1/2 cents per $1,000 of
  2 18 assessed value in assessing areas with values of less than
  2 19 $92.6 million; 33 3/4 cents per $1,000 of assessed value in
  2 20 assessing areas with values between $92.6 million and $111.12
  2 21 million; and 27 cents per $1,000 of assessed value in
  2 22 assessing areas with values exceeding $111.12 million.  This
  2 23 bill maintains the rates but changes the assessed valuations
  2 24 of the assessing areas as follows:  41 1/2 cents per $1,000 of
  2 25 taxable value in assessing areas with values of less than $550
  2 26 million; 33 3/4 cents per $1,000 of taxable value in assessing
  2 27 areas with values between $550 million and $700 million; and
  2 28 27 cents per $1,000 of taxable values in assessing areas with
  2 29 values exceeding $700 million.
  2 30    These valuations are to be adjusted for inflation beginning
  2 31 with the 2003 calendar year and every odd-numbered year
  2 32 thereafter.
  2 33    The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies to taxes
  2 34 due and payable in fiscal years beginning on or after July 1,
  2 35 2001.
