Section 35.01.03.415 - APPORTIONMENT OF RAILCAR FLEET'S ASSESSED VALUES WITHIN THE STATE

01. Private Railcar Fleet Apportionment. Railroad track miles will be used for the apportionment of each private railcar fleet's assessed value when the value within Idaho equals five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) or more. The Idaho value of each private railcar fleet will be multiplied by a ratio of this private railcar fleet's mileage for each railroad to this private railcar fleet's total mileage in Idaho and divided by the in-service main track mileage of that particular railroad, to obtain a rate per mile. This rate per mile is multiplied by the in-service main track mileage in each county and tax code area to calculate the apportioned value. For the purpose of apportioning value by miles traveled, main track includes branch lines, as well as main lines, but does not include industrial spurs, sidings or passing tracks.

02. Determination of Average Tax Rate -- Private Railcar Fleets Under Five Hundred Thousand Dollars Assessed Value. For private railcar fleets having an assessed value of less than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), the average tax rate is computed each year by dividing the current taxes for all private railcar fleets with assessed value of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) or more by the current Idaho value of all such fleets. By November 15 of each year, each county treasurer must provide the Tax Commission with the amount of taxes due from all private railcar fleets in the county.
