(H) Payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT). The sewer utility will reimburse the general fund an annual fee as payment in lieu of taxes. The PILOT fee will be based on the town's tax rate applied to the real estate and personal property assets of the sewer utility. At the passage of Ord. 2011-01, the sewer utility real and personal property assets are estimated to be $1,679,067. The town’s 2010 tax rate is 0.9905 with a gross tax due of $l6,631.16 from the Sewer Fund to the Corporation General Fund. First payment is due and payable on June 1, 2012. Thereafter, all payments are due and payable on June 1 of each consecutive year. Computation of the PILOT amount shall be as follows:
Total assets of sewer utility on Dec. 31st multiplied by tax rate of current year = gross tax due (PILOT).
Example:
Total Assets - Net 12/31/08 Balance | 2010 Albion Tax Rate | Gross Tax |
$1,679,067 | 0.9905 | $16,631.16
