ESTABLISHING A NEW TAX BASE
Shall a new tax base of $7,000,000.00 be established for
Deschutes County, to become effective in the 1980-81 fiscal
year?
PURPOSE
The existing County tax base is $1,025,394.00. The tax base
has not been increased since 1916. This measure would in-
crease the tax base to $7,000,000.00.
By Oregon law, a tax base cannot be exceeded by more than
six percent in any year without first being approved by a
vote of the people. The tax base partially finances the ex-
penses of all County operations.
EXPLANATION
The entire tax base will be partially financed by the State
of Oregon. The tax base will furnish 100% of the approved
County Library budget; 100% of the approved budget for dis-
posal of solid waste in Deschutes County; and approximately
40% of the approved General Fund budget for all other County
functions. The Budget Committee has approved a County budget
which would result in a maximum levy of $4,000,000.00 from
the tax base during the 1980-81 fiscal year.
