Small County PILT Parity Act
Refreshed 3 h ago
Introduced 2025-03-27Topic: budget · taxesSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorUnder federal law, the Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program pays local governments, such as counties, money in place of property taxes they cannot collect on federal land. The amount a local government can receive is capped based on its population. This bill would lower the smallest population level used to set that cap from 5,000 people to 1,000 people. This would add new tiers for local governments with 1,000 to 4,000 residents. It would also replace the table of per-person payment limits with new dollar amounts for populations from 1,000 to 50,000.
