County Administrator’s FY 2020-2021 Budget Impact Summary Discussion:
With increasing market values for properties that sold during calendar year 2019 and using an annual consumer price index of 1.02% issued by the state for counties valuation, staff assumed a 3.5% property value growth and $2.1 million in restored values of fire reconstructed properties, representing a total 4% growth as part of the Fiscal Year 2020-21 Adopted Budget. Staff estimates that the final Fiscal Year 2020-21 Assessed Value growth of 0.64% will result in the collection of approximately $1,000,000 in additional property taxes over the 4% estimate in the Fiscal Year 2020-21 Recommended Budget. In accordance with the financial policies adopted by the Board in Fiscal Year 2019-20, 40% of the unanticipated funds, or about $400,000, will increase funding for Capital Projects deferred maintenance.
