Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element <br />• County Fuel Tax <br />The county fuel tax is levied on motor fuel at the rate of one cent per net gallon. The legislative intent <br />of this tax is to reduce a county's reliance on ad valorem taxes. Funds received from this tax can be <br />used by a county for transportation -related expenses, including the reduction of bond indebtedness <br />incurred for transportation purposes. <br />Table 6.1 shows that funds received through <br />the county fuel tax levy represented 0.32% of <br />all revenue collected by Indian River County <br />in FY 2009/10. Figure 6.13 shows that, over <br />the last six fiscal years, county fuel tax <br />revenue received by Indian River County <br />decreased 10.78%. <br />• Alcoholic Beverage License <br />Tax <br />Alcoholic beverage license taxes are levied <br />on manufacturers, distributors, vendors, and <br />sales agencies of alcoholic beverages in <br />Florida. The tax is administered, collected, <br />enforced, and distributed to local <br />governments by the Division of Alcoholic <br />Beverages and Tobacco within the <br />Department of Business and Professional <br />Regulation. <br />Twenty-four percent of the license taxes <br />imposed on the sale of beer, wine and liquor <br />collected within a county is returned to the <br />county Tax Collector. The remaining funds <br />are used to operate the division and <br />contribute to the operation of the Office of <br />the Secretary of Business Regulation. <br />Table 6.1 shows that the county received <br />approximately $56,000 from this tax in FY <br />2009/10, 0.03% of all revenue received by <br />Indian River County.
