ORDINANCE MODIFYING LOCAL INCOME TAX RATES

IMPOSED IN VIGO COUNTY

      

 

BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of Vigo County of Vigo County, Indiana that a need now exists to modify the local income tax rates imposed within the county in the following way:

 

Local Income Tax Type	Existing Rate	Proposed Rate
Property Tax Relief Rate (IC 6-3.6-5)	.25%	.25%
Expenditure Rate (IC 6-3.6-6)	1.00%	1.75%
Special Purpose Rate pursuant to Indiana Code, Section 6-3.6-7-25	0.00%	.25%

 

The Vigo County Council finds and determines that revenues from the special purpose rate are needed for the following purposes:

 

To finance, construct, acquire, improve, renovate, or equip a county jail and related buildings and parking facilities, including costs related to the demolition of existing buildings and the acquisition of land; and

 

To repay bonds issued or leases entered into for constructing, acquiring, improving, renovating, and equipping the county jail and related buildings and parking facilities, including costs related to the demolition of existing buildings and the acquisition of land.

 

The expenditure rate identified above includes a rate associated with revenue to be directed to the county’s public safety access point (“PSAP”). The expenditure rate being directed to the PSAP after adoption of this ordinance is as follows:

 

Local Income Tax Type	Existing Rate	Proposed Rate
Public Safety Access Point Rate	0.00%	.1%

 

All additional revenue generated by the new income tax rate is dedicated to “public safety” as that term is defined by Indiana Code 6-3.6-2-14.

 

The local income tax rates proposed above will become effective on January 1, 2018.

 

The local income tax rates proposed above will remain in effect until they expire pursuant to Indiana Code, as provided by I.C. 6-3.6-7-25, or until the Vigo County Council chooses to modify them.

 

BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED that a public hearing was held on the proposed local income tax rate modifications on August 7, 2017. Proper notice of the public hearing was provided pursuant to IC 5-3-1.
