DATE: May 6, 2005
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - May 12, 2005
ITEM: *11.A.1. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to waive the 2004
Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) for the Round Rock Housing
Authority.
Department: Planning and Community Development
Staff Person: Mona Ryan, Community Development Coordinator
Justification:
Under the constitution and statutes of the State of Texas, all public housing authorities are exempt
from all real and personal property taxes and special assessments as long as they are owned by a
public body or governmental agency. Instead, annual payments (payments in lieu of taxes (PILOT))
are made for public services and facilities. This payment is equal to 10% of the rent collected by the
housing authority and is distributed between the taxing entities. In accordance with the Community
Services Agreement between the Round Rock Housing Authority and the City (October 4, 1973),
PILOT payments can be waived when the housing authority incurs expenses for operating its
Community Center(s). Documentation has been submitted to the Finance Department for these
expenses, which exceeded the PILOT requirement.
Funding:
Cost: $4,707.48
Source of funds:
Round Rock Housing Authority PILOT funds
Outside Resources: N/A
Background Information:
The Housing Authority will continue to operate and maintain the Community Centers located at
Lancehaven, Westwood, and Cushing with appropriate staff and supervision to carry out
recreational and social activities.
