This year, some counties will receive slightly reduced PILT payments to adjust for increased revenue received during the previous fiscal year under the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act. This Act provides payments to compensate certain counties for declining timber receipts. Changes in PILT payments can also occur based on the amount that Congress appropriates for the program in a given fiscal year.
