§ 131107 Transportation Tax Administrative Costs

Key Takeaways

  • •Only 1% of the money from a special sales tax can be used to pay the people who manage the tax and the transportation plans.
  • •The rest of the money must go to building and fixing roads, bridges, and other transportation projects.
  • •The money must be spent exactly how the plan says it should be spent.

Example

A county adds a 1% sales tax to pay for new roads and buses.

Only 1% of that tax money can pay the salaries of the people in charge of the project. The other 99% must go to actually building the roads and buses, not to pay for office staff or other unrelated things.

§ 131107 Transportation Tax Administrative Costs

In an adopted county transportation expenditure plan that provides for the imposition of a retail transactions and use tax, not more than 1 percent of the annual net amount of revenues raised by the tax may be used to fund the salaries and benefits of the staff of the commission or the county transportation authority, as the case may be, in administering the plan and the retail transactions and use tax ordinance. All other funds, after reimbursement to the county for the cost of conducting the election as provided for in Section 131104, shall be used for the planning, design, construction, and operation of the traffic and transportation projects as set forth in the adopted plan, and shall be allocated according to eligible sponsoring agencies. (Added by Stats. 1986, Ch. 301, Sec. 3. Effective July 14, 1986.)
