City <<strong>st</strong>rong>of</<strong>st</strong>rong> St. Petersburg, Florida - FY 2012 Proposed Fiscal Plan<br />

Local Option Gas Tax:<br />

The gas tax is levied on every net gallon <<strong>st</strong>rong>of</<strong>st</strong>rong> motor and diesel fuel sold within Pinellas County. Through<br />

FY07, the rate was $0.06 on motor fuel and diesel fuel sales with 75% <<strong>st</strong>rong>of</<strong>st</strong>rong> the revenue going to the<br />

County and the municipalities receiving the balance. The City’s share <<strong>st</strong>rong>of</<strong>st</strong>rong> the remaining 25% was<br />

40.28%. During FY07, the County passed an additional one cent tax, referred to as the "ninth cent", and<br />

revised the di<strong>st</strong>ribution formula effective September 2007. As a result, the City received sub<strong>st</strong>antially<br />

more revenue as indicated in the chart. Current revenue projections are based on hi<strong>st</strong>orical receipts.<br />
