A resolution adjusting the school facilities surcharge for inflation for Fiscal Year 2007, beginning July 1, 2006, as required by State Law
Background
Pursuant to Section 10-192.01(b)(1)(ii) of the Prince George’s County Code, the school facilities surcharge is required to be adjusted for inflation pursuant to the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers each fiscal year beginning in Fiscal Year 2005. The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, during the period of April 2006, compared to April 2005, shows an inflation rate of 3.5%. The Fiscal Year 2007 school facilities surcharge is $13,151 for projects constructed outside the Beltway, an increase of $445 over Fiscal Year 2006. For projects constructed inside the Beltway, the Fiscal Year 2007 school facilities surcharge is $7,671, an increase of $259 over Fiscal Year 2006. Based on the assumption that 2400 permits will be issued in Fiscal Year 2007, the school facilities surcharge would generate revenues of $30.9 million.
