Distribution Timeline for LOST/SAVE Estimates
August - Tax Research develops an estimate of LOST and SAVE
distributions by County.
•
August 15 – Local Government Services notifies cities, counties, and school
districts of the planned 95% monthly distributions.
•
August 31 - The Department issues the first monthly estimate payments,
which are released before the last day of each month.
•
April - Tax Research reviews receipts, and adjusts total estimates for the
Fiscal Year. Local Government Services applies distribution adjustments as
needed in May, June and July, assuring 95% funding of estimated
payments issued by July 31.
•
July 31 - The Department issues the last scheduled estimate payment for
the fiscal year.
•
October 15 - Compliance Services reviews and clears filed returns,
including June quarter sales tax returns from the processing system.
•
November 10 - Reconcile actual revenue to estimated distributions. Funds
are issued to counties that have been underpaid. Funds are recouped from
counties that have been overpaid.
Local Option Tax Calculation for
Estimated Payments
• LOST Distribution Formula
– Jurisdiction Share (%) is based on
• (0.25 x Property Valuation) + (0.75 x Population)
• (Property valuation from July 1, 1982 through June 30, 1985)
– Monthly Distribution Estimate X 95%
X Prorated Jurisdiction Share (%)
= Monthly Payment
Calculation of Estimated Payments for
Local Option Tax
• Each year an estimate is calculated by Tax Research for
the Local Option Sales Tax to be distributed to each
county.
• The estimated amount is disbursed in monthly payments
for each jurisdiction.
• The Code specifies that 95% of the total estimated
payment must be sent to each jurisdiction during the
fiscal year.
• Funds are held during accruals to reconcile the
remaining 5% which is paid by Nov. 10 of the following
fiscal year.

IOWA LOCAL OPTION SALES TAX TIF
– A city may, by ordinance of the city council,
create a tax increment financing (TIF) district
for the purpose of funding projects located
within the city’s urban renewal area.
– If located within a county that imposes a
Local Option sales and services tax
(LOST)
– If it has an Urban Renewal Area.
IOWA LOCAL OPTION SALES TAX TIF
• The city creates a LOST TIF District by ordinance,
after county board of supervisors, which will have
funds diverted to the TIF, approve:
– The city’s plan for collection
– The use of county LOST revenues to fund the
city’s urban renewal projects
•
Local Option Distributions for the county are
reduced by the increment of growth, which is
based on Sales Tax TIF area permit holders.
IOWA LOCAL OPTION SALES TAX TIF
• The Department of Revenue assists the city after
an ordinance has passed, by establishing:
– “Base year” sales made in the urban renewal area.
– “Increment” which is the growth determined by
comparing the base year with following year(s). The
increase in LOST revenues from sales in the urban
renewal area in subsequent years goes directly to a
special city fund to be used on the city’s urban renewal
projects.
• In the absence of the LOST TIF, all LOST
revenues are returned to the county where they
are distributed according to the existing population
and property tax levy-based formula.
Franchise Fees Increment Effects
• The following slide reflects procedures used to apply the
Franchise Fees increment effects to active jurisdictions
within your county.
• Local Option distributions for active participants in the
county are reduced by the removal of the Utility Sales
Tax collections from permit holders, that submit utility
sales tax within a franchise fee area.
If a Utility Franchise Fee is implemented
effects on LOST distributions follow:

the data
• Sort highest to lowest within and across counties
