Soroka, Cit:y~"srfag{r ~, Financ ort Services Director July 3, 1997 Certification of Taxable Value/Dates for Public Hearings We received the Certification of Taxable Value from Metro Dade's Department of Property Appraisal on Tuesday, July 1st. A copy of the form is included as Attachment 1. There we no surprises on the form. The Total Taxable Value of $2,771,785,010 is substantially the same as the $2.770 billion estimate, which we received from the Property Appraisal Department on June 1st. However, this form includes a breakdown of the increase in taxable value into two segments. The first segment is the increase in taxable value due to new construction of $96,519,422 (line 5 of the form). The second segment is the portion of the total increase which is due to increases in taxable value on existing property. This increase is computed as $82,387,183 by subtracting the $2,592,878,405 shown on line 7 of the form from the $2,675,265,588 shown on line 6 of the form. The differentiation between the increase due to net new taxable value (new construction) and the increase due to changes in taxable value of existing property is important because the latter determines the computation of the "rolled back tax rate". Section 200.065 (1), Florida Statutes, defines the "rolled back rate" as that millage rate "which, exclusive of new construction, additions to structures, deletions, increases in the value of improvements that have undergone a substantial rehabilitation.., will provide the same ad valorem tax revenue.., as was levied during the previous year". In simpler terms, the rolled back rate is the tax rate necessary to generate exactly the same dollar amount of tax levy as the previous years levy had their been no growth or new construction in the City. The rolled back rate for Aventura for 1997 (the 1997/98 fiscal year) is 2.1584 as shown on lines 10 and 18 of Attachment 2. This is important because if we levy any rate above the 2.1584 rolled back rate, we will be required to place a quarter page ad in the Herald before the second public hearing on the budget and tax rate in September which is titled "NOTICE OF PROPOSED TAX INCREASE". A rough example of the contents of that ad, based on Aventura's information is included as Attachment 3. We will also be required to include the statement that the proposed rate exceeds the rolled back rate by 3.18% in the ordinance adopting the millage rate which will be read at the two public hearings in September. Page ~2) Memo to City Manger Certification of Taxable Value I spoke to the Property Appraisal Department today and they advised me that the County Commission's public hearings are scheduled for September 4th and 18th and the School Boards hearings are scheduled for July 28th and September 10th. Since our meetings cannot conflict with these meeting dates, the September 4th and 18th dates shown in our budget documents must be changed. The timeframe for the public hearings are established by State law and are somewhat complicated. However, the following are the most logical possibilities: First Public Hearing Date Second Public Hearing Date September 8th (Monday) September 9th (Tuesday) September 11th (Thursday) September 22nd (Monday) September 23rd (Tuesday) September 25th (Thursday) Although we can legally hold hearings on later dates (the first public hearing could be held as late as September 18th, and the second up until October 8th). I would not recommend that we extend the process further than September 25th in order to provide for a smooth transition from the 1996/97 to 1997/98 fiscal years. If possible, we should establish the dates for these meetings after discussion with our elected official's within the next week. The information contained in the preceding paragraphs are based on my review of the "Manual of Instructions for TRIM Compliance" published by the Division of Ad Valorem Tax of the Florida Department of Revenue. Please feel free to call or stop by my office to discuss this matter.
