Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Mineral tax money funds Henry County roads
The law dedicates Henry County mineral tax receipts to county roads, subject to the required two-thirds county approval. The Tennessee Department of Revenue keeps administrative costs and sends the remaining money to the county trustee every three months. That money enters the county road fund and can only pay for road construction, maintenance, and repairs. The law does not specify how much money the tax raises.
New tax for Henry County mines
The law authorizes a Henry County mineral tax, but it requires approval by two-thirds of the county’s legislative body. Mine owners and operators owe the tax when covered minerals are extracted and transported from mines in natural or unprocessed form. Covered minerals include clay and titanium, but exclude materials taxed under Tennessee Code Title 67, Chapter 7, Parts 1 and 2. The per-ton rate matches the maximum authorized by Tennessee Code Section 67-7-203; this act states no dollar amount. The rate rises with that maximum but stays at its highest previous level after a reduction or repeal. The Tennessee Department of Revenue collects the tax and sets rules for its administration. Unpaid taxes carry penalties and interest, plus a lien on extracted minerals and operator property that outranks all other liens.
