REVENUE IMPACT 1/
This bill is not expected to impact state or local revenues.
Explanation
Under current law, counties can already postpone implementation of the countywide assessment and equalization program. This bill allows counties that postponed the implementation of values determined in a countywide assessment and equalization program conducted in 2004 to not implement these new values until property tax year 2007 unless the county council adopts an ordinance affirmatively implementing the values. Counties are expected to adjust millages to maintain their revenue trends, and therefore this bill is not expected to impact state or local revenues.
Approved By:
William C. Gillespie
Board of Economic Advisors

TO PROVIDE THAT A COUNTY THAT POSTPONED IMPLEMENTATION OF A COUNTYWIDE ASSESSMENT AND EQUALIZATION PLAN, CONDUCTED IN 2004, MAY NOT IMPLEMENT THE VALUES UNTIL TAX YEAR 2007, UNLESS THE COUNTY COUNCIL ADOPTS AN ORDINANCE AFFIRMATIVELY IMPLEMENTING THE VALUES.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a county that postponed the implementation of values determined in a countywide assessment and equalization program, conducted in 2004, may not implement the values until property tax year 2007, unless the county's county council adopts an ordinance affirmatively implementing the values.
