Two ways to get it on the ballot: o The LOSST is placed on the ballot through a petition of 5% of the county electors having voted in the last state general election o By a motion (or motions) of governing bodies within the county that represents at least half of the population of the county. - Other jurisdictions have reached out to BHC Elections stating they want LOSST on the ballot. Waterloo represents at least half of the population in the county so we will need to take the initial step. - The current LOSST sunsets on December 31, 2025. Cannot do this in 2025 because we would not have the 90 days required to get it on the ballot. New law states it has to be on a general election, not a special election. BHC Elections recommends we take action now. - Council needs to adopt a resolution at the August 7th council meeting. The resolution is then sent to BHC Board of Supervisors for a vote to call for the election. Deadline to get resolution to BHC Board of Supervisors is August 15th - The new LOSST language would go into effect January 1, 2026. - Council needs to decide what the ballot language will state. - No longer required to set a sunset date. - Currently, LOSST is allocated 100%to road maintenance. 7/31/23,3:59 PM Local Option Sales Tax-IOWA League Local Option Sales Tax G Updated on June 29, 2023 C) Posted on March 31, 2019 In order for a city to have a local option sales and service tax (LOSST), a majority of the eligible electors in that city must approve it in a county-wide election to impose the LOSST. The LOSST is placed on the ballot through a petition of 5% of the county electors having voted in the last state general election or by a motion (or motions) of governing bodies within the county that represents at least half of the population of the county. The election for a LOSST can be held during any regular election or one of the special election dates allowed by state code (go to the Secretary of State's website to review those dates or consult your county auditor). The election cannot be held sooner than 60 days following publication of notice of the ballot proposition in the newspaper. The election is county wide, but the LOSST will only apply in those incorporated or unincorporated areas of the county where the majority of the eligible electors approve the tax. The ballot must specify: • The type of tax (in this case Local Option Sales & Service Tax) • The tax rate (not more than 1°%o) • The date it will be imposed • The approximate amount of local option tax revenue that will be used for property tax relief, if any • The specific purpose(s) for which local option tax revenues will be spent if for purposes other than property tax relief • A sunset clause for termination of the tax.(optional) For the imposition, repeal or change of the LOSST, within 10 days after a successful referendum, the county auditor must give written notice of the results and abstract of votes to the Director of the Iowa Department of Revenue. This must be done 90 days before the effective date which is on the ballot (plan out this timing with the county auditor before the ballot language is drafted). The LOSST is imposed on the same items as state sales and excise tax, except on: • Room rentals in a hotel, motel or other similar facility. • Sales of equipment by the Iowa Department of Transportation. https://iowaleague.org/resource/local-option-sales-tax/ 1/3 7/31/23,3:59 PM Local Option Sales Tax-IOWA League • • Sales of natural gas or electric energy subject to a city or county imposed franchise fee or users fee. • The sale of direct-to-home satellite pay television service. • Self-propelled building equipment, pile drivers, motorized scaffolding or attachment customarily drawn or attached to them including auxiliary attachments which improve their performance, safety, operation or efficiency and including replacement parts used by contractors, subcontractors and builders for new construction, reconstruction, alterations expansion or remodeling of real property or structures. • Vehicles subject to a 5% one-time registration fee. • Beginning July 1, 2018 cities must include the Water Service Excise Tax (WET)_when it sells or furnishes water services to both commercial and residential customers. This replaces the state sales tax on such charges and cities are required to apply for a new tax permit through the Iowa Department of Revenue. In addition, the authorizing legislation prohibits cities from including LOSST on water service charges. Please consult the WET page on the Iowa Department of Revenue website for additional guidance. By August 15 of each fiscal year a written estimate will be sent to each city stating how much money the city will receive for each month of the following year. Beginning with the October 2022 LOSST payment,the administration of local government LOSST distribution payments will changed. The Iowa Department of Revenue moved away from the old "annual estimated payments" process and began making distributions based on actual LOSST receipts in the preceding month. Not all local option sales tax collected in a jurisdiction will be returned to the jurisdiction. The amount distributed is calculated based on a formula that takes into account the percentage of population and the property tax collected in the jurisdiction out of the total for the county. For a more thorough explanation of the formula and any other possible adjustments, visit the Iowa Department of Revenue website. Distributions of the taxes collected by the Iowa Department of Revenue are paid to the city in the subsequent month by direct deposit to the city designated account. To view the history of funds previously distributed, see the website listed above. Also on that website is a listing of all jurisdictions that have LOSST and the history of sales generated. To repeal the tax or change the designations for the money to be used, an election must be called and held in the same manner and under the same conditions and restrictions as the election which approved the tax. This information relates to the "regular" local option sales tax and not the "school" local option sales tax, which was abolished in 2008 when the state rate for Iowa sales tax increased from 5% to 6%. The School Local Option Sales Tax (SILO) no longer exists as a separate tax. https://iowaleague.org/resource/local-option-sales-tax/ 2/3 7/31/23,3:59 PM Local Option Sales Tax-IOWA League Street Address Remit Payments to 500 SW 7th Street,Suite 101 PO Box 8296 Des Moines, IA 50309-4506 Des Moines, IA 50301 Phone(515) 244-7282 Fax(978) 367-9733 ©2023 Iowa League of Cities https://iowaleague.org/resource/local-option-sales-tax/ 3/3 N'O N�: a co m 1aI l0 O r CO3 Ia '..N.r O: r4 d m CO.' 0 o to .CO 0 ma;l N r- 0 0 0 .o -1 CO e4 of CO 3 n LenC.
