Krcmarik, Financial Officer -4X SUBJECT: Annexation Financial Concerns: Taxes, Fees, Permits, & Licenses PURPOSE: Property owners facing the prospect of annexation need to be informed about taxes, fees, and licensing requirements of the City of Fort Collins. Fort Collins has different property -and sales tax requirements than the un-incorporated areas of the county. This memorandum reviews some of these financial concerns that property owners that are considering annexation may have. The purpose is to identify the most important differences in taxation, permitting requirements, and activities for which licenses are required. TAXES and FRANCHISE FEES Property Tax. The City of Fort Collins levies a property tax of 9.797 Mills. This is just shy of 1 % of the assessed value of the property. Prorerties outside the City limits pay the Poudre Fire Authority levy of 9.301 mills. The difference amounts to $4.96 per $10,000 of assessed value. Sales and Use Tax. The City of Fort Collins levies a 3% Sales and Use tax on property acquired and placed into use within the City limits. For residential property owners, this is most dramatic on the purchase of major items, most notably, automobiles and trucks. On a $20,000 vehicle, the City tax amounts to $600. For retail businesses, the impact is the requirement to become a licensed retailer and to collect and remit City sales tax. Commercial and industrial land uses would also be subject to use tax on equipment bought outside the City for which a Colorado City sales tax has not been paid. Lodging Tax. In addition to the sales and use tax, the City imposes a 3% tax on the temporary use of lodging facilities. This tax is paid by the lodger and is collected on the lodgers bill. Gas Company Occupational Privilege Tax The City imposes an Occupational Privilege tax on Public Service Company. The tax is a total amount of $445,000 per year. PSCo passes 300 LaPorte Avenue • P.O.

If you have any additional questions or would like to schedule a meeting, please do not hesitate to call Kim or myself at 221-6750. Best regards, Leanne A. Harter, AICP Kim Kreimeyer City Planner Planning Technician xc: File Alan Krcmarik T Comrr .ity Planning and Environment; - `'ervices Current Planning City of Fort Collins 17 August 1997 Mr. Rex Miller 3833 Spruce Drive Fort Collins, Colorado 80526 Dear Rex: This letter is to inform you of the result of further staff discussions that have occurred since the meeting held on September 11, 1997, with Kim Kreimeyer and myself regarding the Overland Trail Third Annexation. At that time, you requested that City staff further consider the recommended zoning of MMN for the property in question, as well as the abatement period for the illegal use, and garding the potential financial impact upon annexation. provide additional information re As I mentioned at the September 1 lth meeting, City staff's recommended zoning for the property is MMN-Medium Density Mixed -use Neighborhood. At that meeting, you put forth that the NC - Neighborhood Commercial zoning district is perhaps more appropriate for the property, and this position has been addressed with other City staff. Our position remains that the MMN zoning district complies with the City Structure Plan and the NC zoning district would require an amendment to the City Structure Plan. One of your concerns voiced was that commercial/retail uses are not allowable uses in the MMN zoning district. Since that meeting Kim and I have further reviewed the MMN zoning district, and that particular zoning district allows for mixed -use dwellings. Mixed -use dwellings allow retail/commercial space on the first level and residential units on the second floor, and are a Type 1, Administrative Hearing review, in the Land Use Code for the MMN zoning district. Regarding the abatement period for the illegal use (storage yard) located on the east side of the property, City staff's recommendation remains a thirty (30) day abatement period from the effective date of the annexation. In discussions with Peter Barnes, the City's Zoning Administrator, this abatement period of thirty days.is standard for all illegal uses located within the City of Fort Collins. The area located to the west of this illegal use which has been used for grazingpurposes, this use will become a non -conforming use in the zoning district and will be allowed to continue, however, proposed expansions would be limited to not more than 25% of the nonconforming use. Division 1.5 Nonconforming Uses and Structures of the Laid Use Code defines those standards and requirements that.are applicable to all nonconforming uses located within the City of Fort Collins and a copy of this Division has been attached for reference. 281 North College Avenue • PO.
