The estimates listed in this section reflect savings to property owners as a result of exemptions. Because the state is projected to be at the maximum levy allowed under the levy limit during the forecast period, there would be no additional revenue accruing to the state general fund resulting from the broader tax base if property tax exemptions were eliminated. However, the amount of tax paid by other property owners would be reduced as a result of lower levy rates.
Similarly, many local taxing districts are at their maximum levy, and thus repeal of exemptions would yield no additional revenue to these local governments. For those districts whose regular levies are not at their statutory maximums, there would be some additional revenue accruing with the elimination of exemptions, but this amount is not indicated in the report since it focuses on tax savings to taxpayers. In addition, special levy rates could be lowered with the addition to the tax base.
