Received by: NLRULE ANALYSIS
Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:
This amendment annually updates the agricultural use-values to be applied by county assessors to land qualifying for valuation and assessment under the Farmland Assessment Act (FAA). The values are recommended to the Commission by the State Farmland Evaluation Advisory Committee, which meets under the authority of Section 59-2-514.
Summary of the rule or change:
Section 59-2-215 authorizes the State Tax Commission to promulgate rules regarding the Property Tax Act, Part 5, "Farmland Assessment Act." Section 59-2-514 authorizes the State Tax Commission to receive valuation recommendations from the State Farmland Advisory Committee for implementation as outlined in Section R884-24P-53.
State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:
Section 59-2-215
Anticipated cost or savings to:
the state budget:
The amount of savings or cost to state government is undetermined. The state receives tax revenue for assessing and collecting and for the Uniform School Fund based on increased or decreased real and personal property valuation, including property assessed under the FAA (greenbelt). Property valuation (taxable value) changes have been recommended by class and by county. This year, 96 class/county valuations will increase, 90 will decrease, and 149 will remain unchanged. No total cost or savings could be calculated without an exhaustive study of farmland acreage in each county by class, a listing of property newly-qualified for FAA assessment during 2006, and a listing of property no longer qualifying that is removed from greenbelt during 2006. However, it is estimated that the overall change is minimal due to this amendment.
local governments:
The amount of savings or cost to local government is undetermined. Local governmental entities receive tax revenue based on increased or decreased property valuation, including property on greenbelt. Property valuation changes have been recommended by class and by county. This year, 96 class/county valuations will increase, 90 will decrease, and 149 will remain unchanged. No total cost or savings could be calculated without an exhaustive study of farmland acreage in each county by class, a listing of property newly-qualified for greenbelt during 2006, and a listing of property no longer qualifying that is removed from greenbelt during 2006. However, it is estimated that the overall change is minimal due to this amendment. County assessor offices statewide will be required to input the new value indicators into their computer systems to be applied against the acreage for individual properties. This input process is easily accomplished on an annual basis and represents no significant cost in time or money to the assessors' offices.
other persons:
Each property owner with property eligible for assessment under the FAA may see a change in value, depending on property class and situs county as 96 such value indicators will increase, 90 will decrease, and 149 will not change. The affect on the property owner will be valuation increase, decrease or no change depending on the mix of property types and situs. No aggregate compliance cost can be determined without an exhaustive study of farmland acreage in each county by class, a listing of property newly-qualified for greenbelt during 2006, and a listing of property no longer qualifying which is removed from greenbelt during 2006. In addition, the compliance cost will further be altered by changes to local property tax rates. However, it is estimated that the overall change due to this amendment is minimal.
Compliance costs for affected persons:
Undetermined. Each property owner with property eligible for assessment under the FAA may see a change in value, depending on property class and situs county as 96 such value indicators will increase, 90 will decrease, and 149 will not change. The affect on the property owner will be valuation increase, decrease or no change depending on the mix of property types and situs.
Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:
The fiscal impact to businesses will vary depending on the county and the property classification. The impact is estimated to be minimal. Pam Hendrickson, Commission Chair
