6 Bonds Frequently Asked Questions What is an Arizona School District Bond? A municipal debt security sold to investors, proceeds of which are used for capital projects. Principal and interest are repaid through secondary property taxes. Don t Bonds Require Voter Approval to be Issued? Yes. Bonds require a simple majority at an election held only on the November election date. How much in Bonds can a District Sell? The amount voters can approve is not limited by statute, but statutes currently limit the sale amount to the greater of $1,500 per student and 10% of current district secondary assessed value (5% for elementary and high school districts). Senate Bill 1263 recently introduced would raise these limits through 2014/15 to 17% for unified districts (and 10% for elementary and high school districts) among other things. Does a District have to Sell the Bonds Approved at an Election? Statutes do not require that all (or any) of the bonds be sold. However, the bonds may be sold in one or more phases until the voter authorization expires ten (10) years after the election date. Page 2 Page 3

7 Bonds Frequently Asked Questions What can the Bond Proceeds be Used for? Use of the proceeds is limited to the projects and estimated costs listed in the voter pamphlet, except 10% can be used for cost overruns or other capital projects (that are included in the ballot question). Bonds are not limited anymore to just bricks and mortar and buses, but can now be used for most soft capital items (FF&E and technology) if a related amount of bond principal is retired within 5 years issuance. Who Determines the Payments? The governing board determines the amounts and maturity years for principal (up to 20 years) and an underwriter sets the interest rates for the sale, but market conditions determine the prices investors will pay. Who Buys the Bonds? U.S. investors including money managers, investment funds, corporations, banks and high net worth individuals that benefit from interest that is typically exempt from federal and Arizona income taxes. What are the Typical Terms for Bonds? Principal is sold in $5,000 denominations maturing on July 1 in years up to 20 years after issuance. Interest is set at a fixed annual rate but repaid semiannually on January 1st and July 1st. Early optional principal redemption for bonds has been typically available 10 years after the sale without penalty. Page 3 Page 4

9 Section B - Property Taxes Overview Arizona School Districts Overview of BONDS, ELECTIONS & PROPERTY TAXES

10 Property Taxes for Arizona School Districts Two-Tier Property Tax System - Primary and Secondary Primary property taxes fund operations for most municipal jurisdictions and are generally comprised by the Qualifying Tax Levy, adjacent ways levy, desegregation levy and career ladders levy for school districts. Primary taxes are limited for residences to 1% of the primary assessed value. Secondary property taxes fund voter approved tax measures (bonds and overrides) for school districts. Homeowner Rebate The State pays the lesser of 40% or $600 of the school district primary tax levy for owner-occupied homes. Property Tax Collections County Treasurers levy and collect taxes on behalf of school districts. Taxes are due October 1st and March 1st each year and delinquent November 1st and May 1st unless the year is paid in full by December 31st. Delinquent taxes accrue at 16% interest and can ultimately lead to the loss of the property if taxes remain unpaid. Full Cash Value (FCV) and Limited Property Value (LPV) Full cash value is determined by the County Assessor and generally ends up to be 80% to 85% of market value for residential property. Growth in FCV is not limited for secondary tax purposes. However, LPV growth (value used for primary taxes) is limited to the greater of 10% of the previous year s LPV and 25% of the difference between current FCV and previous LPV. Page 5 Page 6

11 Property Taxes for Arizona School Districts Assessed Value The amount of a property s value that is taxed (the assessed value) depends upon the property s type. 10% of residential property value is assessed, whereas 21% of commercial and utility property value and 16% of agricultural and vacant land value is currently assessed. (Note: The commercial / utility percentage will reduce by 1.0% per year until it is 20% for Tax Year 2011 and after.) [Note: Secondary assessed value is utilized in both establishing secondary property tax rates (for bond and override levies) and general obligation bonding capacity. Therefore, the measure of secondary assessed value per student is a key indicator of the ability of a school district to raise debt and taxes on a per student basis.] Property Tax Rates Tax rates are stated per $100 of assessed value and established on the 3 rd Monday each August by the County Board of Supervisors. Primary property tax rates for residences are held by statute at or below $10.00 through State funding for schools (including the Homeowner Rebate). Secondary tax rates are only limited by that established by the governing body for funding voter approved tax measures (and delinquency rates for a bond levy). Property Valuation Dates Property values are finalized by the County Assessor by December 31 st each year, but are not utilized for determining general obligation bonding capacity or tax rates until a year after the following August (i.e., a 20 month lag).
