REVISIONS TO THE DISTRIBUTION PERCENTAGES FOR FOUR CENTS OF LOCAL OPTION GAS TAXES:
Broward County shares four cents of local option gas taxes with the municipalities through two Interlocal agreements. The two Interlocal agreements provide for the distribution of the following gas taxes:
- The "additional" local option gas tax, levied in January of 1994, currently provides for the Cities to receive 51.27% of the proceeds of three cents of gas tax.
- The "transit gas tax," levied in January of 2001, provides for the Cities to receive 26% of the proceeds of one cent of gas tax.
The two agreements provide for the distribution of the Cities’ share of gas taxes based on population. Motions A and B request approval of amendments to the agreements to incorporate updated population data prepared and published by the Bureau of Economic and Business Research of the University of Florida in accordance with the terms of the agreements. The population figures and distribution percentages are updated annually.
The agreements have been reviewed and approved as to form by the County Attorney's Office.
