Plain-language change summary

The latest version of SB 1003 removes previous provisions regarding electromagnetic pulse preparedness and focuses solely on property tax regulations. Specifically, it establishes a requirement for counties, cities, and towns to use federal funds from the American Rescue Plan to limit their primary property tax levy for 2022 and 2023. This change is significant because it aims to prevent local governments from increasing taxes beyond the levels set in 2021, protecting taxpayers while managing the use of federal funds effectively.

The bill establishes rules for how counties, cities, and towns in Arizona must use funds from the American Rescue Plan to manage property tax levies in the years 2022 through 2024.

  • Section 1

    A. For tax year 2022, if a county's, city's or town's proposed primary property tax levy, excluding amounts that are attributable to new construction, is greater than the amount levied by the county, city or town in the 2021 tax year in the county, city or town and the county, city or town received monies under section 603 of the American rescue plan act of 2021 (P.L. 117-2; 135 Stat. 4), the county, city or town shall use the monies received under section 603 of the American rescue plan act of 2021 to reduce the proposed primary property tax levy so that the property tax levy does not exceed the 2021 tax year's amount except for amounts attributable to new construction.

    This establishes a requirement for local governments to use federal funds to limit property tax increases in 2022.

  • Section 1

    B. For tax year 2023, if a county's, city's or town's proposed primary property tax levy, excluding amounts that are attributable to new construction, is greater than the amount that would have been levied by the county, city or town in the 2022 tax year in the county, city or town if the county, city or town had not reduced the levy pursuant to subsection A of this section and the county, city or town received monies under section 603 of the American rescue plan act of 2021 (P.L. 117-2; 135 Stat. 4), the county, city or town shall use the monies received under section 603 of the American rescue plan act of 2021 to reduce the proposed primary property tax levy so that the property tax levy does not exceed the amount that would have been levied by the county, city or town in the 2022 tax year if the county, city or town had not reduced the levy pursuant to subsection A of this section except for amounts attributable to new construction.

    This mandates that local governments apply federal funds similarly to limit tax increases in 2023.

  • Section 1

    C. At the end of each tax year, the county, city or town may spend any monies the county, city or town received under section 603 of the American rescue plan act of 2021 (P.L. 117-2; 135 Stat. 4) that exceed the amount needed to reduce the primary property tax levy pursuant to this section for that tax year at the county's, city's or town's discretion.

    This allows local governments to use any remaining federal funds after tax levy reductions at their discretion.

  • Section 1

    D. For tax year 2024, the county, city or town may disregard any monies the county, city or town received under section 603 of the American rescue plan act of 2021 (P.L. 117-2; 135 Stat. 4) and calculate the primary property tax levy for the tax year as if those monies were not included to reduce the primary property tax levy for the preceding two tax years.

    This permits local governments to not factor in federal funds when calculating property tax levies in 2024.

  • Section 1

    F. This section is repealed from and after December 31, 2026.

    This sets an expiration date for the provisions in this section.

  • Section 1

    G. For the purposes of this section, 'amount attributable to new construction' means the net assessed valuation of property added to the tax roll since the previous year multiplied by a property tax rate computed by dividing the primary property tax levy of the county, city or town in the preceding year by the estimate of the total net assessed valuation of the county, city or town for the current year, excluding the net assessed valuation attributable to new construction.

    This clarifies the definition of what constitutes new construction for tax purposes.

  • Section 2

    This act applies retroactively to from and after December 31, 2021.

    This makes the provisions of the act applicable to actions taken after December 31, 2021.

  • Section 3

    This act may be cited as the 'Local Tax Cut Act of 2021'.

    This provides a short title for the bill.
