PUBLIC HEARING HB 2023
|
013 |
Mazen Malik |
Presented a description, (Exhibit
1), and background (Exhibit 2) of the measure and -2 amendment (Exhibit 3). Bill has minimal revenue impact, and no
fiscal impact. |
|
030 |
Chair Shetterly |
The concern was that a delinquent
filer could take advantage of the system, choose the year of delinquency,
call it the first year and get the penalty.
The intent was if this was a first time filer, legitimately ignorant
of filing requirements. Tom Linhares, does this measure do what it was
intended to do? |
|
036 |
Tom Linhares |
Answers affirmatively. |
|
040 |
Chair Shetterly |
The -2 amendment replaces the -1? |
|
044 |
Malik |

|
050 |

amendments? |
|

OPENED PUBLIC HEARING ON HB 2024
|
080 |
Mazen |
Presented a description and
background on the measure. HB 2024
has no fiscal or revenue impact (Exhibit 4). |
|
092 |
Linhares |
Testified in favor of HB 2024. The measure is requested by the OSAA to
simplify Board of Property Tax Appeals procedures. |
|
120 |
Rep. Berger |
It appears by having a record of
appeals settled before the board it would give you a picture of a systemic
problem. Am I wrong? |
|
110 |
Linhares |
You are not wrong. The statutes as currently written, require
that written stipulation be given to the board so they have a record of it. |
|
145 |
Hass |
Can you comment on how HB 2024 and
HB 2025 are linked? |
|
148 |
Linhares |
It was intended that they be
included in one bill. |
OPENED PUBLIC HEARING ON HB 2025
|
157 |
Chair Shetterly |
Opened HB 2025 to be heard in
conjunction with HB 2024. Discussed
distribution of letter from Yamhill County Clerk in support of HB 2024 and HB
2025 (Exhibit 6). |
|
150 |
Linhares |
HB 2025 allows immediate reduction
in value if the property owner and assessor stipulate to the property value
and allows for immediate refund. HB
2025 deals with the period of time before December 31 the deadline to appeal
property value. HB 2024 deals with the period of time after the appeal has
been filed and the property owner and assessor agree and stipulate in writing
before the Board of Property Tax Appeals convenes. |
|
215 |
Chair Shetterly |
In both cases, HB 2024 and HB 2025
streamline the process benefiting taxpayer and assessor, saving the effort
required in the appeals process to get the agreed upon reduction and refund. |
|
226 |
Chair Shetterly |
Closed the public hearing on HB 2024
and HB 2025. |

|
277 |
Linhares |
Testified in favor of HB 2026. Explained currently small water
associations, which are exempt from property taxes under current statutes, are
required to re-file every year. This

Chair Shetterly |
By directive of the Department, it
will come back to the Legislature with a review of the statute in 2009. Want to make sure disincentives are built
that would not allow woodland owners to opt in and out of program. |
|
026 |
Hass |
How were these rates and values
agreed to or arrived upon? |
|
040 |
Yates |
Explained methodology behind how the
rates were developed. |
|
055 066 071 |
Chair Shetterly Chair Shetterly Chair Shetterly |
For the record, it is good to know
the intent is to be revenue neutral, so in 2009, that would be the basis on
which to make the adjustment. For the record, by a nod of your
head indicate approval of -3 amendments: Kristina McNitt, Oregon Small Woodlands Association and Oregon
Department of Forestry Technical Working Group; Wally Rutledge, Oregon
Department of Forestry; and Norm Miller from Department of Revenue. All nodded. The fiscal impact is anticipated and
included in the governor’s budget, there is no referral to Ways and Means,
and can be sent to the floor. |
|
079 |
Barnhart |
The attempt of the bill is to reduce
the incentive to cut lumber prematurely in order to pay property taxes and to
make sure over the harvest cycle taxes are paid. |
