S 1175 would change how the federal government calculates Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) for local governments with significant federal land. It lowers the formula's starting population tier from 5,000 to 1,000 people and adds a detailed payment scale with exact dollar amounts per person for populations between 1,000 and 50,000, replacing the old table.
This affects small rural counties and towns with fewer than 5,000 residents that contain federally owned land, particularly in Western states with national forests, parks, and Bureau of Land Management territory.
Small communities with populations between 1,000 and 5,000 would move from being grouped into the old formula's lowest tier to a more tailored calculation based on their specific population size.
