Shared Revenues - Budget Estimates

A final estimate of shared revenues for each city and town for FY 2016-2017 is set forth in this report. We obtained the total dollar
figures subject to distribution from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and the Arizona Department of Revenue (DOR).
The distribution figures in this Final Estimate were produced using 2015 Census Bureau Population Estimates as well as 2015 Special
Census Population Estimates if a city or town conducted a special census and designated the population to be used for shared revenue
distribution.
Population Figures for Shared Revenue Estimates
As directed by statute, the population figures used in distribution of state shared revenue for Fiscal Year 2016/2017 are based on new
legislation recently passed in the state legislature. Pursuant to one of the League’s Resolutions, HB2483 makes the following changes
to statutes about population figures used for shared revenue purposes:
• A city or town may use either the most recent population estimates from the Census Bureau or the results of a special census
(if they have conducted one) as the basis for distribution of state shared revenues.
• A city or town may only use the results of the special census for one year, and beginning on July 1 in the second year
after the special census, requires the city or town to use the most recent population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau
as the basis for distribution of state shared revenues.
• The most recent population estimates of the U.S. Census Bureau will be used annually for distribution of state shared tax
revenues to cities and towns beginning on July 1 in the second year following the next decennial census through June 30 of
the following year.
These are the population figures to be used through FY2016/2017:
2017 Designated Population for TPT/HURF/VLT: ........................................................5,414,822
2017 Designated Population for URS: ........................................................................5,420,493
Shared Revenue Estimates
The tables found within this report list the distribution of revenue from the Vehicle License Tax (VLT), Highway User Revenue Fund
(HURF), State Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) and State Income taxes, also known as Urban Revenue Sharing (URS). (Note: All of
these estimates except URS may be subject to revision later in the year. We will send out revised estimates if we get any additional
information.)
Vehicle License Tax (VLT) – The total Vehicle License Tax distribution for FY2017 is approximately 7.1% higher than last year’s estimate
of $210,300,000.
Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) – The FY2017 HURF estimate provided by the Arizona Department of Transportation is
approximately 5.0% higher than last year’s figure of $341,221,100. (Note: This highway user revenue estimate does not include the 3%
monies reserved for cities with populations over 300,000.)
One-time HURF – The additional one-time $14.4 million that was included in this year’s budget (HB2708) is included in its own
column on the revenue spreadsheet provided below. ADOT has indicated this one-time revenue will be included in the regular
HURF distribution for each city and town, however they haven’t determined if these funds will be distributed in 12 monthly
installments or one lump sum. We will inform you when a decision has been made. (Note: Like regular HURF, this one-time
revenue does not include the 3% monies reserved for cities with populations over 300,000.)

State Sales Tax (TPT) – The estimate for state shared sales tax is approximately 6.25% higher than the estimated amount contained
in this report from last year.
State Income Tax (URS) – The figure for state income tax sharing is approximately 9.6% percent higher than last year’s value of
$605,634,332. (Note: This is the only one of the shared revenue categories that can be accurately stated, since it is based on collections
from two years ago.)
The estimated shared revenues for distribution to cities and towns in the upcoming fiscal year, based on current state law, from each
of the sources are as follows:
Vehicle License Tax . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $225,200,000
Highway User Revenue . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $358,299,100

questions, please give us a call.
