<br />Fiscal disparities program is a tax-base sharing program in the metro area. It reduces large
<br />differences in property tax wealth between communities with a lot of commercial-industrial tax
<br />base and those with little. The goal of the program is to promote orderly and efficient growth,
<br />improve equity, strengthen economic competitiveness, and encourage land uses that protect the
<br />environment and increase livability.
<br />o Contributions to the shared pool are based on 40% of the growth in commercial,
<br />industrial, and public utility property tax base since 1971.
<br />o Distributions of the shared pool are based on market value of all property tax per
<br />person, compared to the average market value per person. Cities with less market
<br />value wealth per capita receive a larger distribution from the pool than cities with
<br />greater market value wealth per capita.
