If the property is located within an urban renewal area with a tax increment financing plan,the new construction would not be used to increase a tax base under the measure.However,once the tax increment financing ceases,the new construction would be used to increase the tax base. The measure applies for fiscal or tax years beginning after 1982. (This impartial explanation was prepared by the Legislative Counsel Committee pursuant to ORS 251.225.) Official 1982 General Voters' Pamphlet 5 N I STATE OF OREGON ARGUMENT IN FAVOR ARGUMENT IN OPPOSITION Ballot Measure No. 1 allows a district's tax base to increase Ballot Measure No. 1 reduces local voter control of property when new property construction increases its taxable value. taxes. Oregon's existing constitutional property tax limitation A tax base is the amount of property tax a district may prohibits a levy of tax in excess of an amount levied in any one of permanently levy without further voter approval. Currently, the last three years, plus 6 percent,without a majority vote of constitutional tax bases each year may grow by 6 percent plus the people in the taxing district.This limited automatic growth any increase of property values due to annexation, if any.The in the tax base coupled with voter approval of additional levies 6 percent growth rate adversely inhibits a tax district's ability to has been preserved in Oregon's constitution since its original "live within" its tax base, if there is new construction in the enactment in 1916. Ballot Measure No. 1, if approved, will district. reduce Oregon's voter's voice in local governmental revenue New construction usually results in the need for additional decisions. services provided by local government. However, when the cost The reasoning used in favor of Ballot Measure No. 1 is that of current services is increasing more than 6 percent a year, new construction increases demands on local governments and there now is no additional tax base growth for property tax school districts. These demands, it is claimed, must be met revenue to provide services needed as a result of new construc- without the complications and uncertainties of voter approval. tion. There is no evidence that new construction results in higher This constitutional amendment allows a local tax base to government .service costs proportional to its taxable value. grow in proportion to the amount of new construction(up to 15%) Spending is related to the demands made by the voters for in the district. For example, if new construction is 5 percent of government programs,i.e.,police and fire protection,not on the the taxable value of a district, then the tax base the following newness of property"in the taxing district. Local governments should be required to explain the need for more tax dollars and year will increase by 5 percent in addition to the regular 6 to leave the decision to the voters. percent increase.This tax base growth will help reduce the need for districts to request special levies outside their tax base, Even if it were demonstrated that new construction of making funds available to supply services associated with new homes,factories and stores places new burdens on local govern- construction.Adequate local government services based upon an ments, this particular proposal does not immediately solve the updated tax base deserves your support. Vote yes on Ballot problem. The automatic adjustment to the tax base as proposed Measure One. would take effect two years after the new construction has been completed and taxed.For example,assuming completion of new Joint Legislative construction in 1982,the first increase taxes collected under this Committee Members: Appointed by: measure would not come until November 1984.The local govern- ment must then either struggle with its new "demands" or Senator Charles Hanlon President of the Senate submit increased tax levies to the voters. Representative William Grannell Speaker of the House Ballot Measure No. 1 laces additional, costly, and difficult Representative Mary Speaker of the House p y' McCauley Burrows duties on assessors by requiring them to clearly identify new construction and its impact on total districts' assessed value. What would happen in cases where the "value" of newly con- structed property is unclear,as in the case of appeals?In many cases where property values are appealed,only the lower values argued by the owner are placed on the rolls until the appeals are finished.Thus,several years may pass before the total true cash value of new construction is finally determined. In these cir- cumstances,the proposal is impracticable and unworkable.It is also unclear as to its effective date which could result in court challenges. An addition to the Oregon constitution of an amendment allowing an adjustment to tax bases for new construction would be a major step away from the original concept of a tax base expressed in voter approved dollars.

After 1983-84, the 11/2% limit may be exceeded to permit total revenue to rise annually by 2% of the unit's 1979-80 total revenue. Districts providing only fire, police, ambulance, paramedic or other emergency services could receive full 1979-80 revenues in 1983-84 and annual increases of 2% of 1979-80 revenues thereafter. Districts providing emergency and other services must reduce all other budget items to two-thirds of 1979-80 levels before reducing emergency service appropriations. True cash value may increase 2% annually after July 1, 1984, or by the Consumer Price Index if less. Real property transferred after July 1, 1979 will remain at 1979 assessed values,plus 2%annually. New construction will be valued as if assessed on July 1, 1979, plus 2% annually. The 11h%limit does not apply to payments for bonded indebt- edness or special assessments incurred prior to approval of Measure 3. This measure limits the present bonding capacity of the State, e.g. Veterans Loan Program and others. The future ability of local governments to issue general obligation bonds guaranteed by ad valorem taxes would be restricted by the rate limitations. Under the measure,changes in state laws pertaining to real property taxes, special assessments, tax abatement, legislative administrative acts, tax increment financing or property class affecting property tax rates must be submitted to the voters. Elections to consider these changes are limited to two per year, in May and November. Other state tax changes, if tax increases, may be enacted only by a two-thirds vote of all elected members of both houses of `he legislature, or by a majority of the voters voting on the question. Under the measure, local governments may impose special taxes or assessments, operating levies exceeding tax bases and new tax bases within rate limits, only upon a majority vote of the voters voting at an election. State and local governments cannot impose special ad valorem, sales or transaction taxes,or new serial levies on real property. Measure 3 requires the legislature to continue benefits equivalent to the existing Homeowners and Renters Relief Pro- gram (HARRP) and ensure renters tax relief comparable to homeowners.
