("5.5%"limit in 29-1-301, C.R.S., and the TABOR limits, Art. X, Sec. 20(4)(a) and(7)(c), Colo. Const.)
. The following worksheet can be used to calculate the limits on local government property tax revenue.Data can be
found on the Certification of Valuations (CV) sent by the county assessor on August 25 of each year, unless
otherwise noted. (Note for multi-county entities: If a taxing entity is located in two or more counties,the mill levy for that
entity must be the same throughout its boundaries,regardless of county boundaries(Uniform Taxation,Article X,Section 3,Colo.Const.).
This worksheet can be used by multi-county entities when the values of the same type from all counties are added together.)

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics until March of next year. Forecasts may be obtained by contacting the
Division of Local Govemment(DLG)at(303)866-2156.)
There will be a difference between net assessed valuation and gross assessed valuation only if there is a
"tax increment financing"entity, such as a Downtown Development Authority or Urban Renewal
Authority,within the boundaries of the jurisdiction.
2_ite For the "5.5%" limit only(Part A of this Form), this is the lesser of: (a)the total amount of dollars
74 levied for general operating purposes on the net assessed-MI-Caton before deducting any Temporary
Tax Credit[if Form DLG 70 was used to certify levies in the previous year,this figure is on line 1.], or(b)
last year's"5.5%"revenue limit.
3 Increased production of a producing mine,previously exempt federal property, or new primary oil or gas
production from any oil and gas leasehold or land. NOTE: These values may not be used in this
calculation until certified to,or applied for,by filing specific forms with the Division of Local
Government [forms can be found in the Financial Management Manual,published by the State
Auditor's Office or contact the Division of Local Government].
°Taxes paid by properties which had been previously omitted from the tax roll. This is identified on the
CV as "taxes collected last year on omitted property as of Aug. 1".
5 This figure is available on the CV which you received from the assessor last year.
6 This applies only if an"Order"to reduce the property tax revenue was issued in the spring of 2001 by the
Division of Local Government,pursuant to 29-1-301(6), C.R.S.
Paco lt\ r ,.. _.__.
A. Steps to calculate the "5.5%" Limit (refer to numbered lines on the previous page):
Al. Adjust the previous year's revenue to correct the revenue base, if necessary:
$ 3/-2-/ + $ 9 = $ .�/.�o
Line 2 Line 8 Adjusted property tax revenue base
A2. Calculate the previous year's tax rate, based pon the adjusted revenue base:
$ .5/3 O _ $ m24/0/3400
Line Al Line 1 Adjusted Tax Rate r
A3. Total the assessed valuation of all the current year"growth" properties: 8
$ o + $ / 79fos/o + $ o = $ / 79 704L0
Line 4 Line 5 Line 6 Total"growth"properties
A4. Calculate the revenue that "growth" properties would have generated:
$/ 79,0 44o X . 130 = $ a 33. 7S
Line A3 Line A2 Revenue from"growth"properties 9
AS. Expand the adjusted revenue base (Line Al) by the "revenue" from "growth" properties:
$ 0233, 75 + $ 3130 = $ 336 3, 75
Line A4 Line Al Expanded revenue base
A6. Increase the Expanded Revenue Base (Line A5) by allowable amounts:
[ $ 33!03 7s x 1.o55]t° + $ 3S 4L2 . 75 + $ O
Line A5 Voter-Approved Revenue Increase 11 DLG-Approved Revenue Increase
_ $
Increased Revenue Base
A7. Current Year's "5.5%"Revenue Limit:
$ 3418 • - $ � _ $ 3543, 75'
Line A6 Line 7 Current Year's
"5.5%"Revenue Limit 12
A8. Reduce Current Year's "5.5%" Revenue Limit by any amount levied over the limit in the previous year:
$35<L375 - $ O = $ 35413. -7S 13
Line A7 Line 9 Reduced Current Year's"5.5%"
Limit. This is the maximum
allowed to be levied this year
A9. Calculate the mill levy which would generate the Reduced Revenue Limit (Line A8):
$ 354- 8, 75 - $ 507752 &p X 1000 = .1 is (Round to 3 decimals)
Line A8 Line 3 Mill Levy
7If this number were multiplied by 1000 and rounded to three decimal places, it would be the mill levy
necessary in the previous year to realize the revenue in line Al.
8The value of these properties are"excluded"from the"5.5%" limit, according to 29-1-301(1)(a)C.R.S.
9This revenue is the amount that the jurisdiction theoretically would have received had those"excluded"or
"growth"properties been on the tax roll in the previous year.
10This is the"5.5"percent increase allowed in 29-1-301(1), C.R.S.
''This figure can be used if an election was held to increase property tax revenue above the"5.5%"limit.
12Rounded to the nearest whole dollar, this is the statutory("5.5%")property tax revenue limit.
13DLG will use this amount to determine if revenue in excess of the limit has been levied.

' Steps to calculate the TABOR limit (refer to numbered lines on page one):
B. TABOR"Local Growth" Percentage

Line 10 Line B1
B3. Determine the rate of "local growth":

C2. Calculate the TABOR property tax revenue limit:
$ 309l + $ 397 = $ 3495
Line 2 Line CI TABOR Property Tax Revenue Limit
C3. Calculate the mill levy which would generate the TABOR Property Tax Revenue Limit(Line C2):
$ 3495' - s3091526t x 1000 = . 1/3
(Round to 3 decimal places)
Line C2 Line 3 Mill Levy
D. Which One To Use? There is general agreement among practitioners that the most restrictive of the two
revenue limits ("5.5%" or TABOR) must be respected, disallowing the levying of the greater amount of revenue '
which would be allowed under the other limit. Therefore, one must decide which of the two limits is more
restrictive.
Compare Line A7(Current Year's 5.5%Revenue Limit) to Line C2 (TABOR Property Tax Revenue Limit). The lesser of the
two is the more restrictive revenue limit.
NOTE: TABOR(4)(a)requires prior voter approval to levy a mill levy above that of the prior year. This is a third
limit on property taxes that must be respected, independent of the two revenue limitations calculated above. If the
lesser of the two mill levies in A9 and C3 is more than the levy of the prior year, it is possible that neither of
the revenue amounts may be generated, and that revenues must be lowered to comply with this third limit.
14This section is offered as a guideline only. The Division is required by law to enforce the"5.5%"limit,
but does not have any authority to define or enforce any of the limitations in TABOR.
4, 15NOTE: For the TABOR property tax revenue limit only(Part C of this form), it may be preferable to
use the actual amount levied in the previous year, ignoring footnote #2 on page 1. This a local option.

Line A3 [$1,798,040.00] x Line A2 [0.00013[ =A4. $233.75
A5. Expand the Revenue Base by the "revenue" from "growth" properties:

Line A7 [$3,544.00] - 2001 Amount Over Limit [$0.00] =A8.I $3,5441
A9. Calculate the Mill Levy which would generate the Adjusted Revenue Limit(rounded to three decimal places):
(Line A8 [$3,544] = 2001 Net Assessed Value [$30,775,266.00]) x 1,000 =A9.1 0.1151
Note:Rounding the mill levy up may result in revenues exceeding Line AS.
NOTE: This calculation does NOT take into account any other limits that may apply to your property tax revenue,
such as TABOR limits, statutory mill levy caps,or voter-approved limitations. The Property Tax Limitations
Worksheet(Form DLG-53a)may be used to perform some of these calculations for comparison to the "5.5%"
limit.

FREDERICK, COLORADO, 80530
2002 BUDGET MESSAGE
The attached 2002 Budget for Weld County Tri-Area Sanitation District (WCTASD)
includes several important features. The District is a "Colorado Special District",
organized and existing pursuant to the provisions of the Special District Act, Title 32,
C.R.S. Its governmental functions are subject to the provisions of Article X, Section 20,
of the Colorado Constitution.
The annual budget for the year beginning January 1, 2002 and ending December 31,
2002, is prepared in accordance with Local Government Budget Laws of Colorado as
required for Title 32 Special Districts.
The books and records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting. The revenues
are recognized when they are earned and the expenses are recognized when they are
incurred. The accounts of the District are organized and presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles as applied to a governmental unit operated as
an Enterprise Fund. Enterprise Fund accounting is used to account for the operations
of governmental units, which are financed and operated in a manner similar to private
business enterprises. This District has two separate Enterprise Funds; Sanitary Sewer
and Storm Drainage.
The District' financial statements for the year of 2000 were audited by Watkins and
