COUNTY TAXES IS
FULLY DEFINED
Ktnta Ta (ViiiiiiiInhIiiu (Hmo f .tit-Ict
i:i.Iiiiih(Iiiu (r yucHtiuii.
The ntata tux comnilaalonora have
b-rn aakvil to give a full explanation
of tholr undorHtundiiig of what c: n
allluleH county tuxoa as mwrngatcd
from tho ol hw fun.la accruing
through gonnral taxation. The quoH
llon has come about through the do
ilre for Information a to what extent
county warrant aro applicable to tho
(ayiiu nt of gounral taxea. The opin
ion of the eommlHHlon la very Inter
atlng, and la given bnlow In full:
"County tnxf aro thone taxes
which are lnvlitd by the county court
or board of county commltHlinnr to
produce a fund or fun da ngalnnt
which snld court or board has full
authority to order warrants drawn In
payment of ch.lms. nntwIthHtnudlug
that, for want of fundn, nuch war
rants may not be Immediately re
deemable. "We nro of the opinion that atate
taxes, whether levied aepurately or
Included In the Ronoral county levy,
cannot be paid In comity wurrnnts.
While a state tax la Impoacd as an
ohllgntlon on the county as a whole,
the county cannot make payment to
the state by wnrrants; caah Is re
quired. The county court or bonrd
of county rommlxHlonorn has no au
thority to order the payment of or to
withhold state taxua.
Tjiw ltulrnnenU Told.
"An amount ronulre.I of a county
as a state tax cannot, in the process
of collection, he treated as a county
tax, payable In county warrants. If
taxpayers are permitted to nay their
eapectlve shares of the county's state
tax In warrants, nnd pay all general
"ounly taxes In the samo manner, the
-ounty would Pn.1 itiwilf without
money to meet Its state tax In the
manner required.
"Taxes levied Tor the counlv gen
ernl fund are clearly payable In
conniv warrants.
"The levies of taxes for hlKh school
and for school and library funds are
not. we believe, nayahle In countv
warrants. Theae levies are reoulred
or authorlted hv statute and are
made for spoclflo purposes. The
eonnty court or bonrd of countv enm
mlHslnners has llttlo or no control
over these funds. If a deficiency
hould occur on account of warrants
helng accepted In nsvment of these
es. the same ronld not bo satis
e,id. even tomnornrllv, by tho county
tulnr new warrants drawing Inter
est until redeemed.
, levies Are Hlmllar.
"Tlie levy for lntoreat on highway
bonds In some respects Is similar to
he levy for state taxos. The money
""S . "UH.l..be pald Ht B Pwll time
and the obligation cannot be aatUllcd
by the iKsuance of a county wurrunt j
V. ,T H . 1 ""'neuiaio redomptlon.
If the credit of tho county U to be
preserved, It in unt have the cash to
; meet the Interest on its bonds." The
payment or withholding of this In
terest is not discretionary with the
: county court. Therefore, we are of
the opinion that the levy for this
, purpose is not a county tax which
may be paid In warrants,
I "A levy for roado and highways,
,um,nr- authority of Section
Lord's Oregon Laws, definitely
requires that the tax for the county
general rond fund 'shall bo paid In
money.' "
! While the question Is not raised
directly, the commission holds that
no special tax levied by a city, town,
school dlHtrlct, road district or other
local taxing district, can ho paid In
j county warrants.
