State Auditor Forms!The SAO email provides a link to the online calculator for this year’s property tax rate calculation. Linda Quinley will go through that process later in the program. We will go through the forms so that you understand the process. It is recommended that you complete the calculation on the SAO excel worksheet as a check before entering data into the online calculator. When you do the online calculation, within one or two days there is a link on the calculator page to print out the paper forms. Those forms need to be submitted to your county clerk(s). !

State Auditor Forms!n  This is a reassessment year. If you have a

voluntarily reduced tax rate, you can not recover any of your voluntary reduction this year.!

n  This option will be available next year because it is a non-reassessment year. If your district wants to recover all or any portion of your voluntary reduction in 2018, your board of education will need to adopt a resolution recovering the reduction next summer prior to completing your 2018 SAO tax rate forms. !

State Auditor FormsForm A!If STC report shows large percent increase, this could have a significant negative effect on your tax rate. Ten counties have SARRU growth of greater than 10% (Andrew, Clinton, Dekalb, Holt, Marion, Moniteau, Morgan, Nodaway, Platte, & Ray). Anyone interested may stay after the regular workshop to talk about the possibility of converting this new state assessed value into new construction assessed value on line 2.!

State Auditor FormsForm A!If STC report shows large percent decrease, may indicate state assessed last year and locally assessed this year. Check with county clerk and assessor to verify that this new locally assessed utility property is included in their reported new construction and improvements. (Line 2)If you use a smaller number on Line 19 than Line 14 you need to explain in writing to SAO (Jill Wilson) that STC report shows a decrease in assessed value for your county.!

State Auditor FormsForm A!Line 19 is an estimate on your part. The SAO will calculate tax rates next July and notify you if changes to your tax rate for the next year are necessary because of final state assessed values.!

1. Total current year assessed valuation obtained from the County Clerk or County Assessor(Tax Rate Form A, Line 1 Total) 10,305,000

2. Amount required to pay debt service requirements during the next calendar year(i.e. Assuming the current year is Year 1, use January - December (Year 2) payments to completethe (Year 1) Form C.) Include the principal and interest payments due on outstanding generalobligation bond issues plus anticipated fees of any transfer agent or paying agent due during thenext calendar year. 50,000

3. Estimated costs of collection (collector fees & commissions and Assessment Fund withholdings) and anticipated delinquencies Experience in prior years is the best guide for estimating un-collectible taxes. (Usually 2% to 10% of Line 2 above) 2,500

4. Reasonable reserve up to one year's payment(i.e. Assuming the current year is Year 1, use January - December (Year 3) payments to completethe (Year 1) Form C.) It is important that the Debt Service Fund have sufficient reserves to prevent any default on the bonds.Include payments for the year following the next calendar year accounted for on Line 2. 45,000

5. Total required for debt service (Line 2 + Line 3 + Line 4) 97,5006. Anticipated balance at end of current calendar year.

Show the anticipated bank or fund balance at December 31st of this year (this will equal thecurrent balance minus the amount of any principal or interest due before December 31stplus any estimated investment earning due before December 31st). Do not add the anticipatedcollections of this tax into this amount. 25,000

7. Property tax revenue required for debt service (Line 5 - Line 6)Line 6 is subtracted from Line 5 because the debt service fund is only allowed to have the payments required for the next calendar year (Line 2) and the reasonable reserve of the following year's payment (Line 4). Any current balance in the fund is already available to meet these requirements so it is revenues required for debt service purposes. 72,500

8. Estimated revenue from state assessed property for debt service for the next calendar year(January – December) - Must be estimated by the school district. In most instances a good estimate would be the same amount as the state assessed revenues actually placed in the DebtService Fund in the prior year. 5,500

9. Revenue required from locally assessed property for debt service (Line 7 - Line 8) 67,000

* The tax rate levied may be lower than the rate computed as long as adequate funds are available to service the debt requirements.

The tax rate for Debt Service will be considered valid if, after making payment(s) for which the tax was levied, the bonds remain outstanding, and thedebt fund reserves do not exceed the following year's payments. Since property taxes are levied and collected on a calendar year basis (January -December), it is recommended that this levy be computed using calendar year data.
