Jefferson Blvd. <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Re: Ordinance Levying taxes and fixing the rate of Property Taxation to meet City Expenses for the fiscal <br />year ending December 31, 2015 — Substitute Bill No. 43 -14 <br />Dear Council President Davis: <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, 2015 and <br />ending December 31, 2015. This tax rate will apply for property tax assessments in fiscal 2014 with taxes <br />payable in fiscal 20 IS. <br />This original bill was submitted for 11 read filing with the Common Council for the council meeting on August <br />25, 2014, 2 "d reading and public hearing at the council meeting on September 22, 2014, with 3m reading and <br />council vote at the council meeting on October 13, 2014. <br />Similar to prior years, this substitute bill has been filed with estimated property tax rates. The final property tax <br />rates for each municipality in the State of Indiana are determined by the Department of Local Government <br />Finance (DLGF) as part of the "1782" budget review process which, according to the state budget calendar, must <br />be completed in February, 2015. The actual property tax rates will depend on the 2014 /pay 2015 net assessed <br />valuation of property in South Bend and this information is not yet available from the St. Joseph County Auditor. <br />The actual property tax rates are likely to be lower than the estimates provided in this substitute bill. <br />I will be available to discuss this bill at the appropriate sessions of the Personnel and Finance Committee and <br />other meetings of the South Bend Common Council. <br />Respectively submitted, <br />J014u1H.
