Sec. 14. (a) In determining the amount of property tax
replacement credits civil taxing units and school corporations of a
county are entitled to receive during a calendar year, the department
of local government finance shall consider only property taxes
imposed on tangible property that was assessed in that county.
(b) If a civil taxing unit or a school corporation is located in more
than one (1) county and receives property tax replacement credits
from one (1) or more of the counties, then the property tax
replacement credits received from each county shall be used only to
reduce the property tax rates that are imposed within the county that
distributed the property tax replacement credits.
(c) A civil taxing unit shall treat any property tax replacement
credits that it receives or is to receive during a particular calendar
year as a part of its property tax levy for that same calendar year for
purposes of fixing its budget and for purposes of the property tax
levy limits imposed by IC 6-1.1-18.5.
(d) A school corporation shall treat any property tax replacement
credits that the school corporation receives or is to receive during a
particular calendar year as a part of its property tax levy for its
general fund, debt service fund, capital projects fund, transportation
fund, and special education preschool fund in proportion to the levy
for each of these funds for that same calendar year for purposes of
fixing its budget and for purposes of the property tax levy limits
imposed by IC 6-1.1-19. A school corporation shall allocate the
property tax replacement credits described in this subsection to all
five (5) funds in proportion to the levy for each fund.
