$35 Arts Tax Due April 18
The city of Portland is remind-
ing residents that the $35 Arts Tax
approved by Portland voters in
2012, is due on April 18.
This annual tax, which helps
pay for 91 kindergarten through
fifth grade art and music teachers
in Portland area schools and other
arts programs sponsored by local
arts organizations, is due from all
adult Portlanders with taxable in-
come of $1,000 or more. This in-
cludes anyone who moved into
or out of Portland during 2016.
Adults who earn less than $1,000
or are below the poverty line must
still file a return to claim an ex-
emption.
Portlanders can file and pay
the $35 Arts Tax online at port-
landoregon.gov/artstax. It takes
most people three to four minutes
to complete the filing process and
receive an e-mail receipt.

housing to Clark County.
The rapid rise in rents has hit
Vancouver’s seniors living on
a fixed Social Security income
particularly hard. As the local
population outpaces the housing
supply, there is a growing short-
age of rental housing that is both
affordable to seniors and provides
the functionality to help seniors
age in place.
Isabella Court is strategically
located on the Fourth Plain Cor-
ridor and aligns with city of Van-
couver and Clark County’s efforts
to address an area that is under-
served for low-income seniors.
Isabella Court offers rents af-
fordable to people 62 years and
older who earn 60 percent or less
of area median income ($30,840
for single person household).
Rents at the 49-unit building
range from $627 a month to $914
a month. The Vancouver Housing
Authority also has provided fund-
ing for 10 apartments to include
a rental subsidy making them af-
fordable to households earning 30
percent or less of median income.
