INTRODUCTION The Department of Finance is pleased to present the 2017 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 (2017 & 2018) Associated account numbers in Oracle, the City’s financial information 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 Taxes
A vast majority of Arvada’s governmental revenues come
Fees
in one of three types:
Intergovernmental Revenue
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 Department of Community Development for some of its work related to the Planning Commission, new developments and annexations. As for intergovernmental revenues, these 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. The breakout of revenue sources for the General Fund in 2016 was as follows: Highway Users Trust Fund Interfund 4.52% Transfers Franchise Fees 3.91% 4.62%
Other Financing Sources 7.21%
Building Permits 5.24%
Property Tax 6.15% Building Use Tax 7.49%
Sales Tax 52.99%
Auto Use Tax 7.89%

POLICE TAX INCREMENT FUNDS Unlike the General Fund, revenue for the City’s two Police Tax Increment Funds is almost exclusively in the
2006
form of sales and use taxes. In 1993, the electorate of
3.46%
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
2005
an additional increase, this time 0.25%, to further
0.25%
expand the Arvada Police Department.
With the
addition of this second tax increment dedicated to public safety, Arvada reached its current sales and use
1993 0.21%
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 2016 was as follows:
