Part II: Narrative Explanation
II. A - Brief Description Of What The Measure Does That Has Fiscal Impact
Significant provisions of the bill and any related workload or policy assumptions that have revenue or expenditure impact on the responding agency by
section number.
CURRENT LAW:
Current law provides a mechanism for certain local governments to create “local tax increment financing” (LTIF) areas to
fund public improvements within specific boundaries of a county.
The local government must adopt an ordinance designating a specific increment area within its boundaries and the public
improvements that are to be financed. A local government designating a LTIF area may issue general obligation bonds to
finance the public improvements within an increment area to be repaid through regular levies.
The revenue increase is based on an increase in assessed value within the LTIF area, beginning the year following the
passage of the ordinance, and the regular property taxes, distributed and apportioned by the county treasurer to the local
government with the LTIF. Generally, property tax levies apportioned are those subject to the constitutional 1% and $5.90
aggregate limitations. However, property taxes levied by a port district or public utility district for the purpose of bond
payment and the state school levies are excluded from LTIF apportionment.
Each taxing district within the LTIF area continues to receive their portion of regular property tax on real property based on
the assessed value for the year first designated.
The apportionment of increases in assessed valuation in an LTIF area cease when the local government certifies that
allocation revenues are no longer needed to pay the public improvement costs.
The LTIF program also allows a taxing district located in an LTIF area to add to a levy’s 1% growth limit any increase in
assessed value for the LTIF area, like the new construction add-ons.
PROPOSAL:
The proposal makes revision to the LTIF program, as follows:
- Adds a definition of real property to also include privately owned improvements on publicly owned land, as part of the
increment value of a designated LTIF area.
- Clarifies the definitions of public improvements and public improvement costs to include certain improvements, such as the
cost of acquisition of real property and appurtenant rights.
- Makes technical revisions, including clarification of when increment areas go into effect, allocation of tax revenues, and
notice requirements for the creation of a LTIF.
- Allows taxing districts located in an LTIF area to add to a levy’s 1% growth limit any increase in assessed value for the
LTIF area, like the new construction add-ons, when restoring, consolidating, or annexing a property tax levy.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This bill contains an emergency clause and takes effect immediately upon the Governor’s approval.
II. B - Cash receipts Impact
Cash receipts impact of the legislation on the responding agency with the cash receipts provisions identified by section number and when appropriate,
the detail of the revenue sources. Description of the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the cash receipts impact is derived.
Explanation of how workload assumptions translate into estimates. Distinguished between one time and ongoing functions.

REVENUE ESTIMATES
This legislation results in no revenue impact to the state property tax levy.
This bill results in additional revenue for the city or county that created the LTIF. The amount of the additional funds is

improvements on public land, and what the value of those improvements will be.
II. C - Expenditures
Agency expenditures necessary to implement this legislation (or savings resulting from this legislation), with the provisions of the legislation that result in
the expenditures (or savings) identified by section number. Description of the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the expenditure
impact is derived. Explanation of how workload assumptions translate into cost estimates. Distinguished between one time and ongoing functions.
FIRST YEAR COSTS:
The Department of Revenue (department) will incur total costs of $22,800 in fiscal year 2024. These costs include:
Labor Costs – Time and effort equate to .17 FTE.
- Amend six administrative rules.

Part IV: Analysis
A. SUMMARY OF BILL
Description of the bill with an emphasis on how it impacts local government.
This bill makes revisions to the Local Tax Increment Financing (LTIF) program by:
- Defining the term real property as it relates to LTIF areas
- Making technical revisions, including clarification of when increment areas go into effect, allocation of tax revenues, and
notice requirements for the creation of a LTIF
- Allowing taxing districts located in an LTIF area to add to a levy’s 1% growth limit any increase in assessed value for
the LTIF area, like the new construction add-ons, when restoring, consolidating, or annexing a property tax levy
B. SUMMARY OF EXPENDITURE IMPACTS
Expenditure impacts of the legislation on local governments with the expenditure provisions identified by section number and when
appropriate, the detail of expenditures. Delineated between city, county and special district impacts.
This bill would not impact local government expenditures because no action is required.
C. SUMMARY OF REVENUE IMPACTS
Revenue impacts of the legislation on local governments, with the revenue provisions identified by section number, and when
appropriate, the detail of revenue sources. Delineated between city, county and special district impacts.
This bill would make changes to the LTIF program that would allow cities or counties with local tax increment financing
areas to collect additional property tax revenue. The impact is indeterminate.
According the the Department of Revenue (DOR) this bill impacts the calculations for a LTIF area by including privately
owned improvements on public land in the base value. This bill results in additional revenue for the city or county that
created the LTIF. The amount of the additional funds is indeterminate as there is no way of knowing where LTIF areas
will be created, if they will have privately owned improvements on public land, and what the value of those improvements
will be.
