The New Tax Law
The following review of tho
old nnd new tax laws, given by
City Attorney LnRocho of Port
land, should be carefully read by
every taxpayer, and the obnox
ious features qf tho now law care
fully noted. It may save ex
penses by becoming familiar
with its provisions:
The Inws of 1907 provided that
the taxes shall be paid on or be
fore tho first Monday in April.
If paid on or before March 15, a
rebate of 3 per cent was allowed.
Taxpayers were given tho option
of pitying one-half of their taxes
on or before tho first Monday in
April, and upon such payment
the payment of tho second half
was postponed until the first
Monday in October, and if paid
at that timo no penalty or inter
est was attached. If tho first
half was not paid by tho first
Monday in April, the whole tax
became delinquent and was sub
ject to a 10 per cent penalty and
interest at tho rate of 12 per
cent per annum. If the first
half was paid on or before the
first Monday in April, but the
second half was not paid on or
before the first Monday in Oct
ober, such second half theroupon
became delinquent, a ten per
cent penalty was imposed and
interest computed at twelve
per cent per annum from the
ditto of tho payment of tho first
installment.
The law of 191U materially
changed this provision of tho
law of 1907. Under tho latter
law, taxes are payable before
April 1 of each year. No rebate
is allowed at all. On April 1
tho taxes become delinquent.
A penalty of 1 percent a month
is charged on that portion of
taxes paid after April 1 and
paid beforo September 1. The
law. however, permits of one
half of tho taxes hoing paid
beforo April 1 and tho remain
ing one-half to be paid prior to
September 1. Howevor, if ad
vantage is taken of this provi
sion the penalties heretofore sot
forth are computed on the sec
ond half of the taxes until it
is paid. The act further pro
vides that all taxos romaining
unpaid on tho first day of Septem
ber shall become delinquent nnd
subject to a penalty of ten per
cent and interest at the rate of
twolvo per cent per annum from
the date on which they became
delinquent until thoir payment.
Under tho old law, taxes wore
payable on tho firt Monday in
April. Under the new law they
are payable on tho first day of
April.
Under tho old law tho second
installment became duo and
payable on the first Monday
in October. Under the new
law tho second installment must
bo paid prior to tho first day
of September.
Under the old law certificates
of delinquency bearing interest
at the rate of fifteen per cent por
annum were issued at the ex
piration of six months after tho
date of delinquency. Under tho
1 l- 1 1 i r 1
nuw litw mien curunnuus oi uu
linquency bearing tho samo rate
of interest shall be issued at the
expiration of one month after
the date of delinquency.
The provisions of tho old law
with referenco to tho foreclosure
and sale of land for delinquent"
taxes by tho holder ol tho cer
tificate of delinquency have not
been altered. Under tho now
law tho County Treasurer is
made Tax Collector and tho
Sheriff is constituted tho col
lector of delinquent taxes.
