  6. Where Does the MoneyCome From?

  7. What Does the Money Go To?

  8. Property Taxes • Property taxes are assessed against the “adjusted-equalized value” of real property expressed per $1,000 in valuations. • For a $100,000 home in Davenport, the initial school tax will be $850.74 • $296.20 is assessed as a base-line • $554.54 is assessed to complete funding of the district’s educational budget (last 12.5%)

  9. Iowa Income Tax • Tax on estimated income of $50,000:$50,000 x .05 = $ 2,500 • Income Tax used for Education:[.42 (Tax) x .57 (SFA) = 24%]$2,500 x .24 = $ 600 • 7th Cent Sales Tax on estimatedexpendable income:$25,000 x .01 = $ 250

  10. Insidious Taxes • Determining the actual cost of education is not possible without a detailed accounting for all monies involved. • EDUC tax on gas heat $ ??.?? • EDUC tax on gasoline $ ??.?? • Tax Incremental Financing $ ??.??[TIF] • What else? $ ??.??

  11. Iowa Education TaxesBased on a projected income of $50,000& $100,000 property valuation • Property Tax $ 850.74 • Community College Tax(assessed on $100,000 property valuation) 33.08 • Personal Income Tax 600.00 • 7th Cent Sales Tax 250.00 • Insidious Taxes ???.?? • Total $ 1733.82

  12. Taxation Applied to Education

  13. The Cost to You • The average Iowa household pays $1,733.82 for education based on: • Projected household income of $50,000 • Personal property valuation of $100,000 • When you become a property-owning taxpayer, you will owe a similar amount each year. (Ask me about taxation surcharges to renters.) • Are you mad yet?

  14. Per Pupil Expenditure (1998-1999) • National Average $ 6,232 • State of Iowa - 5,583 • Difference $ 649 • Cost per household$5,583 x 2.3 = $ 12,841

  15. The Bottom Line • Cost per household $ 12,841 • Household contribution - 1,734 • Deficit per household $ 11,107 • Who pays the difference?

  16. Who Pays the Difference? • I do. • Everyone who owns a home and does not have children in public school: • the Elderly (your grandparents) • “Empty Nesters” (your parents) • single persons (your brothers & sisters) • childless couples (people that you know) • Agriculture assessed at 1.7 x residential rate • Business assessed at 1.8 x residential rate

  17. “The Graying of Iowa”Public Education Enrollment Trends

  18. What Does the Future Hold? • Initially, more people will be paying for fewer students, reducing the average cost. • If you do not like the methods that the State of Iowa uses to pay for public education, it may not matter. Why? • In the future, there may not be anyone left to pay for public education, and the State of Iowa will have to find other methods.

  19. Iowa’s Impending Future • Iowa is facing a 3.2% shortfall in revenue at a minimum. Why? • Proposed changes to State Foundation Aid • reduces mandated $5.40 assessment of taxable valuation by half • eliminates local option sales taxes • What would be the result?
