Utility User Tax Math
Posted by emilyknell on October 28, 2008
On Saturday I received another mailer from the Opponents to Rossmoor Cityhood. Again they say that the Utility Users Tax will cost Rossmoor Residents “as much as $800 per year”.
After consulting my trusty calculator here’s what I figured out:
**** If your Average utility bills per Year are $11,400 or $950 per Month (the utility tax is based on only Electricity, Gas & Water bills) Then, Yes, you will be paying $800 per year for a UUT based at 7% per year.
My house is 2,500sqft with a pool & pool pump running all the time. My utility bills are approx. $240 per month.
$240 X 12 = $2,880 for the Year $2,880 X 7% (uut) = $201.60 divided by 12 = $16.80 per month
Feel Free to comment to this post: How many Rossmoor Residents are paying $11,400 per year in Elec., Gas & Water bills?
According to the opponents there is 1 resident that is paying this much, he supposedly has a 5,000sqft house running on Electric Heat. *Note – It’s not 1965 anymore, you CAN convert to GAS heat now!!
