Municipal Services Fund
What Is Being Proposed? • The County will lower its general operations tax levy by $500,000 and increase the unincorporated services fund tax levy by $358,825. • The purpose of the shift is to eliminate the financial subsidy currently being provided to the unincorporated residents from the County’s general fund. • 94% of county residents will see a net tax decrease, 6% will see a net tax increase.
Municipal-Type Services
Municipal-Type Services • Police protection and animal services • Road maintenance • Storm water management • Planning, zoning, and engineering services • Code enforcement and business licenses • Building permits and inspections
Who Pays for Municipal-Type Services • State code requires that the entire cost of providing services to the unincorporated areas of the county be paid for by taxes or fees generated from the unincorporated areas of the county. (UCA 17-34-3(1)(a)) • It is unlawful for the county to use general fund dollars to subsidize services given to the unincorporated residents. (UCA 17-36-9(2)(c)(ii)
Municipal-Type Services Costs Per UCA 17-34-5, cost of providing services to unincorporated residents include: • Operation and maintenance costs of equipment • Cost of renting or otherwise using capital facilities • Administrative costs, direct and indirect • Legal, Accounting, Human Resources, I.T., etc.
Other F.A.Q.’s • Is this shift intended to subsidize snow removal at Powder Mountain? • How is the County ensuring that all second home owners in the Ogden valley are paying the correct tax?
What Does This Mean to Me? • All residents will see a decrease on the Weber County General Fund tax line of their tax bill. • Six percent of the residents, those who live in unincorporated Weber County, will see an increase on the unincorporated services fund line of their tax bill. • The tax on a $403,000 home in unincorporated Weber County would increase from $29.26 to $58.52 per year.
