FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials of the State Tax Commission assume this is clean-up legislation and expect no fiscal impact. If an Assessor should have printed several years of forms, it would be possible that they could have some minor printing cost for new forms.



County Assessors not responding are as follows: St. Louis County Boone County. Jefferson, Platte, and Marion Counties, and the City of St. Louis. Timing would not allow for local impact responses.



FISCAL IMPACT - State Government FY 2004

(10 Mo.)

FY 2005 FY 2006
$0 $0 $0



FISCAL IMPACT - Local Government FY 2004

(10 Mo.)

FY 2005 FY 2006
$0 $0 $0



FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business



No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.



DESCRIPTION



This bill removes language from the oath required to be signed by a personal property taxpayer attesting to all personal property owned by the taxpayer in the state. The current oath refers to real property, which is not required to be listed on the statement.

The act also modifies the applicability of certain provisions from HB 1150 (2002). It limits the applicability of the property tax modifications to only apply (in 2003) to taxing jurisdictions that are at least 75% within St. Louis County.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
