FY 2005 Budget Funding Strategy
Apri16,2004
I would like to present, for the Board of Supervisors consideration, a possible funding strategy
for the proposed Fiscal Year 2005 budget that may allow the Board of Supervisors to adopt a
real estate tax rate tonight for calendar year 2004 that does not reflect an increase.
When this Board adopts the proposed Fiscal Year 2005 budget, tax rates will also be adopted for
calendar year 2004. The Fiscal Year 2005 budget covers a time period from July I, 2004 to June
30,2005. During this time period, property taxes for December 2004 and June 2005 will be
collected. Tonight, we will only set the tax rate for calendar year 2004. The tax rate for 2005
will be set during the Fiscal Year 2006 budget.
The county reassessment will be effective on January 1, 2005 and will impact the June 2005
property taxes, which is included in the Fiscal Year 2005 budget that we are adopting during this
time. Because the budget is adopted on a fiscal year and the tax rate is set on a calendar year, the
County can choose to project increased property values for the June 2005 tax collection.
Based on the projected increase in property values over the past four years, it is anticipated that
the growth in property values will be equal to or greater than the proposed increase in the real
estate tax rate of $0.07 that was advertised.
Please call me if you have any questions.
