Property Tax Extension
Library Board sets its own levy, by law
Library property tax maximum rate is $0.15 per $100 EAV, by law
Library Board currently is not subjected to a normal property tax
cap
If EAV increases 45% from one year to the next, Library Board can
collect 45% more property taxes from one year to the next
Library property taxes are currently combined with the City
property taxes under property tax cap calculations
This means if Library property taxes go up 45% from one year to the
next, City property taxes must go down a pro-rated amount
Property Tax Extension
City Staff recommends the Library property taxes
be calc lated separatel from the Cit propert be calculated separately from the City property
taxes, subjecting the Library property taxes to the
normal property tax caps
Property tax caps allow for maximum property tax
increases from one year to the next at the rate of
inflation only, plus new construction in towninflation only, plus new construction in town

Exhibit C, 2016 Tax Levy – Estimated (Separate)
Staff recommendation
Tax Levy Ordinance will:
Show Library request of ~4.89% total property tax increase
Direct the County Clerk to calculate the property tax cap for the
Library property taxes separately from the City property taxes
If the City’s estimate of the property tax caps are correct If the City s estimate of the property tax caps are correct,
the Library would still receive ~$13,910 in new property
taxes for operations and $7,608 in new property taxes for
bonds
