One study by the Utah Office of Planning and Budget and the Utah Slate Tax Commission placed the revenue loss at $176.8 million, or nearly 25 percent of all property tax revenue. While the revenue loss would affect most school districts, cities, counties and special districts, the fiscal impact would vary widely among the communities in the state. In some of the taxing entities, the tax limitation proposal would force a 45 to 50 reduction in property taxes, while some taxing jurisdictions might not be affected at all. The property tax, however, is only once source of revenue for local units, and the percentage reductions in property taxes do not necessarily represent percentage reductions in total budget receipts. |
