Jefferson Blvd. <br /> South Bend, IN 46601 <br /> Re: Substitute Ordinance Levying taxes and fixing the rate of Property Taxation to meet City Expenses for the <br /> fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 <br /> Dear Council President Dieter: <br /> Attached herewith please find a substitute bill for consideration by the Common Council of the City of South <br /> Bend fixing the property tax rate for the City of South Bend for the fiscal year commencing January 1,2013 and <br /> ending December 31,2013. This tax rate will apply for property tax assessments in fiscal 2012 with taxes <br /> payable in fiscal 2013. <br /> The original bill was submitted for 1St read filing with the Common Council for the council meeting on August 27, <br /> 2012, 2nd read and public hearing at the council meeting on September 24, 2012,with 3rd reading and council vote <br /> at the council meeting on October 8, 2012. <br /> Similar to prior years,the property tax rates per the attached substitute bill are estimated and advertised high. The <br /> final property tax rates for each municipality in the State of Indiana are determined by the Department of Local <br /> Government Finance(DLGF)as part of the"1782"budget review process which,according to the state budget <br /> calendar,must be completed by February 15,2013. The actual property tax rate will depend on the 2012/pay 2013 <br /> net assessed valuation of property in South Bend and this information is not yet available from the St. Joseph <br /> County Auditor. <br /> I will be available to discuss this substitute bill at the appropriate sessions of the Personnel and Finance <br /> Committee and South Bend Common Council. <br /> Respectively submitted, ---�-- <br /> __� Filed in Clerk's Office <br /> Mark W.Neal <br /> City Controller OCT -3 2012 <br /> cc: Mayor Pete Buttigieg JOHN VOO .
