INTRODUCTION The Department of Finance is pleased to present the 2020 Revenue Manual for the City of Arvada. This document is intended to provide City Council, staff, and the citizens a comprehensive look at major City governmental revenues. Enterprise revenues are beyond the current scope of this manual, but will be added in future revisions. While this document has been annually updated and reproduced for many years, both the format and data contained have been revised in order to make the manual a more useful tool in evaluating the City revenues.
Information provided for each revenue source includes: • • • • • • • • •
Up to ten years of actual annual receipts Revised estimates for each year in the current biennial budget (2021 & 2022) Associated account numbers in the City’s financial management system The current rate at which the revenue is assessed A brief description of the revenue The governmental entity responsible for collecting the revenue The enabling legislation providing for the assessment and collection of the revenue Special use restrictions on the revenue (if any) Current rationale behind the estimates on future collections

GENERAL FUND REVENUES A vast majority of Arvada’s governmental revenues come in one of three types: From the largest source, sales tax, to among the smallest, such as lodging taxes, these revenues fuel most of the City’s operating and capital needs. In general, tax revenues may be spent on any Arvada government operation, from street maintenance and new infrastructure to salaries, computers and paper clips. Most fees are collected to offset the costs of a particular service offered by the City. Examples include building permit and plan review fees imposed by Building Inspection to cover its operations, and development plan inspection fees imposed by the Community and Economic Development Work System for some of its work related to the Planning Commission, new developments and annexations. Intergovernmental revenues are taxes and fees imposed by other jurisdictions, usually the state or a county. By law, the City is entitled to a portion of any revenues collected. The largest example is the Highway Users Trust Fund, by which the State distributes motor fuel excise taxes and certain license and registration fees. In 2020, a large portion of Intergovernmental revenues was the City’s allocation of the Corona Virus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding. The breakout of revenue sources for the General Fund in 2020 was as follows:
General Fund Revenues
Interfund Transfers 3% Fines and Fees 1% Services and Charges 1% Miscellaneous 7%
General Property Tax 7% Other Taxes 1%
Intergovernmental Revenues 13% Building Permits 2%
Franchise Fees 4% Sales and Use Tax 49% Auto Use Tax 8%
Building Use Tax 4%

NOTES: The electors of Arvada approved the City's first sales tax (1.0%) in 1969. The increase in sales tax in 2020 and 2021 are due to increased grocery and wholesale store sales from COVID-19 and internet retailers that started remitted sales tax in October 2020.

NOTES: Taxes are paid to the jurisdictions in which a motor vehicle is registered, not where it is sold. As such, Arvada's lack of a large car dealer is immaterial to the City's collection of these taxes. This is a very volatile and cyclical revenue that needs to be monitored carefully.

NOTES: This revenue source has been relatively flat over the past five years as Coloradans have increased their use of alternative forms of transportation, offsetting the growth in population. Revenues in 2018 and 2019 include a one-time additional allocation of approximately $1,000,000.

POLICE TAX INCREMENT FUNDS Unlike the General Fund, revenue for the City’s two Police Tax Increment Funds is almost exclusively in the form of sales and use taxes. In 1993, the electorate of the City approved a 0.21% increase to the City’s sales and use tax rate of 3.00%, with all proceeds from that increment of the total sales and use tax rate dedicated to expanding police services. In 2005, voters approved an additional increase, this time 0.25%, to further expand the Arvada Police Department. With the addition of this second tax increment dedicated to public safety, Arvada reached its current sales and use tax rate of 3.46% on January 1, 2006. The current tax bases for the Tax Increment Funds and the General Fund are nearly identical, in that any transaction eligible for City taxation is assessed 3.00% for the benefit of the General Fund, 0.21% for the benefit of the first Police Tax Increment Fund, and 0.25% for the benefit of the second Police Tax Increment Fund. However, the term and location of urban renewal areas does affect whether revenue collected from transactions within those areas will be collected by any of the three relevant City funds or by the Arvada Urban Renewal Authority. The breakout of revenue sources for the Tax Increment Funds in 2020 was as follows:
Police Tax Increment Revenues
Building Use Tax 5%
General Use Tax 1%
Other 9%
Auto Use Tax 10%
Sales Tax 75%

Jefferson and Adams Counties

With several years of incredible growth since 2010, projections presume a "breather" in 2020; this runs consistent with General Fund Auto Use Tax receipts

NOTES: Taxes are paid to the jurisdictions in which a motor vehicle is registered, not where it is sold. As such, Arvada's lack of a large car dealer is immaterial to the City's collection of these taxes. This is a very volatile and cyclical revenue that needs to be monitored carefully.
