Overview
This bill, the Small County PILT Parity Act, amends a section of U.S. law to adjust the population thresholds used to determine the amount of Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) that small, low-population counties receive from the federal government. Specifically, it lowers the population thresholds required for counties to qualify for PILT payments, increasing the potential amount received by smaller counties. This change aims to provide more financial support to these local governments.
Key provisions
- Lowers the population threshold for counties to qualify for PILT payments from 4,999 to 499.
- Reduces the population threshold for higher PILT tiers from 5,000 to 500.
- Updates the calculation of the PILT limitation based on population size.
- Modifies the table outlining the PILT limitation amounts for various population ranges.
- Specifically adjusts the limitation amounts for populations between 500 and 100,000.

- Local governments
- Federal government (specifically, agencies administering PILT)

Notable changes
