shall be credited for each fiscal year in the following | 83 |
percentages to the general revenue fund, to the school district | 84 |
tangible property tax replacement fund, which is hereby created in | 85 |
the state treasury for the purpose of making the payments | 86 |
described in section 5751.21 of the Revised Code, and to the local | 87 |
government tangible property tax replacement fund, which is hereby | 88 |
created in the state treasury for the purpose of making the | 89 |

(C) Not later than September 15, 2005, the tax commissioner | 107 |
shall determine for each school district, joint vocational school | 108 |
district, and local taxing unit its machinery and equipment, | 109 |
inventory property, furniture and fixtures property, and telephone | 110 |
property tax value losses, which are the applicable amounts | 111 |
described in divisions (C)(1), (2), (3), and (4) of this section, | 112 |
except as provided in division (C)(5) of this section: | 113 |
The taxable value of property reported by taxpayers used in | 143 |
divisions (C)(1), (2), and (3) of this section shall be such | 144 |
values as determined to be final by the tax commissioner as of | 145 |
August 31, 2005. Such determinations shall be final except for any | 146 |
correction of a clerical error that was made prior to August 31, | 147 |
2005, by the tax commissioner. | 148 |
(5) Division (C)(5) of this section applies to any school | 159 |
district, joint vocational school district, or local taxing unit | 160 |
in a county in which is located a facility currently or formerly | 161 |
devoted to the enrichment or commercialization of uranium or | 162 |
uranium products, and for which the total taxable value of | 163 |
property listed on the general tax list of personal property for | 164 |
any tax year from tax year 2001 to tax year 2004 was fifty per | 165 |
cent or less of the taxable value of such property listed on the | 166 |
general tax list of personal property for the next preceding tax | 167 |
year. | 168 |
In computing the fixed-rate levy losses under divisions | 169 |
(D)(1), (2), and (3) of this section for any school district, | 170 |
joint vocational school district, or local taxing unit to which | 171 |
division (C)(5) of this section applies, the taxable value of such | 172 |
property as listed on the general tax list of personal property | 173 |
for tax year 2000 shall be substituted for the taxable value of | 174 |
such property as reported by taxpayers for tax year 2004, in the | 175 |
taxing district containing the uranium facility, if the taxable | 176 |
value listed for tax year 2000 is greater than the taxable value | 177 |
reported by taxpayers for tax year 2004. For the purpose of making | 178 |
the computations under divisions (D)(1), (2), and (3) of this | 179 |
section, the tax year 2000 valuation is to be allocated to | 180 |
machinery and equipment, inventory, and furniture and fixtures | 181 |
property in the same proportions as the tax year 2004 values. For | 182 |
the purpose of the calculations in division (A) of section 5751.21 | 183 |
of the Revised Code, the tax year 2004 taxable values shall be | 184 |
used. | 185 |
To facilitate the calculations required under division (C) of | 186 |
this section, the county auditor, upon request from the tax | 187 |
commissioner, shall provide by August 1, 2005, the values of | 188 |
machinery and equipment, inventory, and furniture and fixtures for | 189 |
all single-county personal property taxpayers for tax year 2004. | 190 |
(D) Not later than September 15, 2005, the tax commissioner | 191 |
shall determine for each tax year from 2006 through 2009 for each | 192 |
school district, joint vocational school district, and local | 193 |
taxing unit its machinery and equipment, inventory, and furniture | 194 |
and fixtures fixed-rate levy losses, and for each tax year from | 195 |
2006 through 2011 its telephone property fixed-rate levy loss, | 196 |
which are the applicable amounts described in divisions (D)(1), | 197 |
(2), (3), and (4) of this section: | 198 |
(1) The sum of the machinery and equipment property tax value | 217 |
loss, the inventory property tax value loss, and the furniture and | 218 |
fixtures property tax value loss, and, for 2008 through 2017 the | 219 |
telephone property tax value loss of the district or unit | 220 |
multiplied by the sum of the fixed-sum tax rates of qualifying | 221 |
levies. For 2006 through 2010, this computation shall include all | 222 |
qualifying levies remaining in effect for the current tax year and | 223 |
any school district levies imposed under section
5705.194 or | 224 |
5705.213 of the Revised Code that are qualifying
levies
not | 225 |
remaining in effect for the current year. For 2011
through
2017 | 226 |
in the case of school district levies
imposed under section | 227 |
5705.194 or 5705.213 of the Revised Code and
for all
years after | 228 |
2010 in the case of other fixed-sum levies,
this
computation | 229 |
shall include only qualifying levies remaining
in
effect for the | 230 |
current year. For purposes of this computation,
a
qualifying | 231 |
school district levy imposed under section
5705.194 or 5705.213 | 232 |
of the Revised Code remains in effect in a
year after 2010 only | 233 |
if, for that year, the board of education
levies a school | 234 |
district levy imposed under section
5705.194 or 5705.213 of the | 235 |
Revised Code for an annual sum at
least
equal to the annual sum | 236 |
levied by the board in tax year
2004 less
the amount of the | 237 |
payment certified under this division
for 2006. | 238 |
(4) To facilitate the calculation under divisions (D) and (E) | 249 |
of this section, not later than September 1, 2005, any school | 250 |
district, joint vocational school district, or local taxing unit | 251 |
that has a qualifying levy that was approved at an election | 252 |
conducted during 2005 before September 1, 2005, shall certify to | 253 |
the tax commissioner a copy of the county auditor's certificate of | 254 |
estimated property tax millage for such levy as required under | 255 |
division (B) of section 5705.03 of the Revised Code, which is the | 256 |
rate that shall be used in the calculations under such divisions. | 257 |
If the amount determined under division (E) of this section | 258 |
for any school district, joint vocational school district, or | 259 |
local taxing unit is greater than zero, that amount shall equal | 260 |
the reimbursement to be paid pursuant to division (E) of
section | 261 |
5751.21 or division (A)(3) of section 5751.22 of the
Revised | 262 |
Code,
and the one-half of one mill that is subtracted
under | 263 |
division
(E)(2) of this section shall be apportioned among
all | 264 |
contributing
fixed-sum levies in the proportion that each
levy | 265 |
bears to the sum
of all fixed-sum levies within each school | 266 |
district, joint
vocational school district, or local taxing unit. | 267 |
(F) Not later than October 1, 2005, the tax commissioner | 268 |
shall certify to the department of education for every school | 269 |
district and joint vocational school district the machinery and | 270 |
equipment, inventory, furniture and fixtures, and telephone | 271 |
property tax value losses determined under division (C) of this | 272 |
section, the machinery and equipment, inventory, furniture and | 273 |
fixtures, and telephone fixed-rate levy losses determined under | 274 |
division (D) of this section, and the fixed-sum levy losses | 275 |
calculated under division (E) of this section. The calculations | 276 |
under divisions (D) and (E) of this section shall separately | 277 |
display the levy loss for each levy eligible for reimbursement. | 278 |
Sec. 5751.22. (A) Not later than January 1, 2006, the tax | 284 |
commissioner shall compute the payments to be made to each local | 285 |
taxing unit for each year according to divisions (A)(1), (2), (3), | 286 |
and (4) of this section, and shall distribute the payments in the | 287 |
manner prescribed by division (C) of this section. The calculation | 288 |
of the fixed-sum levy loss shall cover a time period sufficient to | 289 |
include all fixed-sum levies for which the commissioner | 290 |
determined, pursuant to division (E) of section 5751.20 of the | 291 |
Revised Code, that a fixed-sum levy loss is to be reimbursed. | 292 |
(4) For taxes levied within the ten-mill limitation for debt | 340 |
purposes in tax year 2005, payments shall be made based on the | 341 |
schedule in division (A)(1) of this section for each of the | 342 |
calendar years 2006 through 2010. For each of the calendar years | 343 |
2011 through 2017, the percentages for calendar year 2010 shall be | 344 |
used, as long as the qualifying levy continues to be used for debt | 345 |
purposes. If the purpose of such a qualifying levy is changed, | 346 |
that levy becomes subject to the payment schedules in divisions | 347 |
(A)(1)(a) to (h) of this section. No payments shall be made for | 348 |
such levies after calendar year 2017. | 349 |
(B) Beginning in 2007, by the thirty-first day of January of | 350 |
each year, the tax commissioner shall review the calculation | 351 |
originally made under division (A) of this section of the | 352 |
fixed-sum levy losses determined under division (E) of section | 353 |
5751.20 of the Revised Code. If the commissioner determines that a | 354 |
fixed-sum levy that had been scheduled to be reimbursed in the | 355 |
current year has expired, a revised calculation for that and all | 356 |
subsequent years shall be made. | 357 |
(C) Payments to local taxing units required to be made under | 358 |
division (A) of this section shall be paid from the local | 359 |
government tangible property tax replacement fund to the county | 360 |
undivided income tax fund in the proper county treasury. Beginning | 361 |
in May 2006, one-seventh of the amount certified under that | 362 |
division shall be paid by the last day of May each year, and | 363 |
three-sevenths shall be paid by the last day of August and October | 364 |
each year. Within forty-five days after receipt of such payments, | 365 |
the county treasurer shall distribute amounts determined under | 366 |
division (A) of this section to the proper local taxing unit as if | 367 |
they had been levied and collected as taxes, and the local taxing | 368 |
unit shall apportion the amounts so received among its funds in | 369 |
the same proportions as if those amounts had been levied and | 370 |
collected as taxes. | 371 |
(D) For each of the fiscal years 2006 through 2019, if the | 372 |
total amount in the local government tangible property tax | 373 |
replacement fund is insufficient to make all payments under | 374 |
division (C) of this section at the times the payments are to be | 375 |
made, the director of budget and management shall transfer from | 376 |
the general revenue fund to the local government tangible property | 377 |
tax replacement fund the difference between the total amount to be | 378 |
paid and the amount in the local government tangible property tax | 379 |
replacement fund. For each fiscal year after 2019, at the time | 380 |
payments under division (A)(2) of this section are to be made, the | 381 |
director of budget and management shall transfer from the general | 382 |
revenue fund to the local government property tax replacement fund | 383 |
the amount necessary to make such payments. | 384 |
(E) On the fifteenth day of June of each year from 2006 | 385 |
through 20182011, the director of budget and management may | 386 |
transfer any balance in the local government tangible property tax | 387 |
replacement fund to the general revenue fund. At the end of each | 388 |
fiscal year beginning with fiscal year
2012 and ending with | 389 |
fiscal year 2018, any balance in the local
government tangible | 390 |
property tax replacement fund shall remain in
the fund to be used | 391 |
in future fiscal years for local government
purposes. In each | 392 |
fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 2019, all
amounts credited | 393 |
to the local government tangible property tax
replacement fund | 394 |
shall be appropriated for local government
purposes. As used in | 395 |
this division, "local government purposes"
means providing | 396 |
monetary assistance to local taxing units
including, but not | 397 |
limited to, supplementing payments from the
local government fund | 398 |
and continuing the payments provided in
divisions (A) and (C) of | 399 |
this section. | 400 |
(F) If all or a part of the territories of two or more local | 401 |
taxing units are merged, or unincorporated territory of a township | 402 |
is annexed by a municipal corporation, the tax commissioner shall | 403 |
adjust the payments made under this section to each of the local | 404 |
taxing units in proportion to the tax value loss apportioned to | 405 |
the merged or annexed territory, or as otherwise provided by a | 406 |
written agreement between the legislative authorities of the local | 407 |
taxing units certified to the commissioner not later than the | 408 |
first day of June of the calendar year in which the payment is to | 409 |
be made. | 410 |
