Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):


The State Auditor’s Office does not have any records available to us which would allow us to assemble an informed response assessing the likely financial impacts of the proposed legislation. However, we would anticipate passage and implementation of the proposed legislation would result in a reduction in the amount of future property taxes assessed and collected when compared to the governing provisions now in effect in State law.



Memorandum


We recommend a Fiscal Note Request be submitted to the West Virginia State Tax Department which is the requisite State agency most likely to have records which might allow calculation of a reasonable approximation of the proposed legislation’s impact on future property tax collections.
