Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The stated purpose of this bill is to allow taxpayers to make partial payments on their real and personal property taxes.
As written, this bill provides that beginning July 1, 2016, if the taxpayer wants to make a partial payment, the sheriff shall accept one or more partial payments of any amount for payment of current taxes assessed on real and personal property. According to our interpretation, passage of this bill would not change the amount of current taxes assessed and due on real and personal property and should not impact State revenue or revenue to county commissions, county school boards and municipalities.
There would be no additional costs to the State Tax Department. However, it would impose significant additional administrative costs on county sheriffs to allow a taxpayer to pay small payments unlimited times during the year.
