HB 1264 Special tax district in counties containing a town school division.

Introduced by: Albert C. Pollard, Jr. | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Creation of special tax district in counties containing a town school division. Allows Westmoreland County (described by population) to establish a special tax district to pay all or any portion of the county's expenditures for operating the county school division. The boundaries of the tax district shall be the same as the geographical area of the county school division and shall exclude the area of the Town of Colonial Beach, which operates a separate school division. The board of supervisors shall have no obligation to pay to the town any portion of the property taxes levied in the special tax district. The town shall pay for its share of expenditures to operate the town school division from town property taxes and other local, state, and federal revenues received by the town. The county and the town shall identify the sources of all revenues appropriated to their respective school divisions. The bill also addresses several other technical issues related to the creation of such a tax district and provides that, in the event of a dispute, either the county or the town may initiate an arbitration proceeding.
