Definition of a Property Tax Levy. A number of taxes go along with property ownership. As a property owner, you should understand what a property tax levy is and its use in your community. The tax levy is the amount of money that a community brings in through personal and property taxes. The property tax levy is money raised solely from property owners in the community; it is in no way related to the income taxes paid to state and federal governments.
The Community Infrastructure Levy is a planning charge, introduced by the Planning Act 2008 as a tool for local authorities in England and Wales to help deliver infrastructure to support the development of their area. It came into force on 6 April 2010 through the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010. Development may be liable for a charge under the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), if your local planning authority has chosen to set a charge in its area. Most new development which creates net additional floor space of 100 square metres or more, or creates a new dwelling, is potentially liable for the levy.
