Study Shows Residential
Property Carries Large Tax
A study of rctil property as
sessed 111 Jackson county
shows that residential proper-
ty, urban and suburban, and
rural tracts under 20 acres
are paying approximately 60
per cent of real property tax
ation, Jackson County Asses
sor Ray Schumacher said Fri
day. "This group represents 75
per cent of the total units as
sessed and consists primarily
of home-owners." Schumacher
pointed out. "This is the first
time such a study has been
made in any Oregon county,
to my knowledge."
"Many opinions have been
stated as to what class of
properly is carrying the bur
den of ad valorum taxation,"
Schumacher remarked "Prior
to the completion of this clas
sification it was not known,
and was based on personal es
timates. Now Jackson county
can show definitely who is
carrying the burden."
Commercial Properties
Commercial properties pay
over 13 per cent of the proper
ty taxes collected and repre
sent 4 oer cent of the total
tax units.
industrial properties are
less man one-naif of 1 per
cent of the total units and
about 8V2 per cent of the val
ue.
Agriculture lands of all
farms over 20 acres (20 acres
or more is considered a com
mercial farm by the assessor's
office) represent 4 per cent
of the units, and approximate'
ly 4 per cent of the value.
Timber assessed represents 3
per cent of the total units, and
6 per cent of the value, the
study shows.
Other Property
Other property assessed as
real property represents less
than 1 per cent of the total.
This study and compilation
shows the need for tax repre
sentation of the home owner
who pays the greatest share of
property taxation," Schuma
cher stated. "Property tax
preference by exemption or
preferred treatment of valua
tion now is limited to the mi
nority groups. Each legislative
year, the legislature is faced
with bills and lobbyists urg
ing additional preference.
I believe that the results
of this study will be compara
ble to all western counties in
Oregon -if this classification
study were made by all coun
ty assessors," Schumacher
said. "Eastern Oregon coun
ties with large areas and small
population would show a dif
ferent picture.
Given Some Relief
"Over the past few years I
have decided that the home
owner should be given some
relief in property taxation, so
I advocated the five-point
plan which would give relief
to all taxpayers, not just a
few who fill the halls and lob
bys of our legislature."
Primary purpose of the
five-point plan is for proper
ty tax relief and properly tax
limitation, Schumacher ex
plained. Property lax relief
under the plan would be ac
complished by redistribution
of the school tax load.
This plan would replace
part of the school lax by en
actment of a 3 per cent sales
lax. It has been estimated by
tax experts- that this would
raise approximately $60 mil
lion in Oregon, and this is con
servative. This would carry
one-third of the anticipated
school costs in the next blen
nium, Schumacher said.
General Fund Revenue
"Income tax and general
fund revenue contributed $49,-
1 Wtiffafyj
NO 4-2513
355,324.16 in fiscal year
ing June 30, 1959, according
to the apportionment of basic
school support June, 1959, by
the state superintendent of
public instruction. Larger con
tributions are anticipated for
the next biennium. This would
leave one-third of the costs to
be carried by real property
taxation at the local level.
This could be done by districts
or by a uniform county school
levy.
"Under this plan all tax
payers would be paying for
education. No one would es
cape," the county assessor in
sisted. "No one class of taxa
tion would pay a dispropor
tionate share."

districts to absorb this saving,
and In a short time the proper
ty taxpayers would be seek
ing relief again, Schumacher
pointed out.
"Real property as the base
for taxation has lost the ori
ginal concept of ability to pay
when land was the source of
income," he argued. "This is
brought out in the study of
property classification ratio
for Jackson county."
The five-point plan recom
mends that a limitation of 20
mills of true cash value be
the maximum that real prop
erty would pay, he explained.
This would mean that proper
ty would not be taxed at over
80 mills based on a 25 per
cent ratio.
"My plan proposes that dis
tribution of the school taxes
under the plan would be dis
tributed on the average daily
membership formula," Schu
macher explained. "Senate
Joint Resolution 31 incorpor
ates the tax limitation and
proposes the 3 per cent sales
tax for schools This is applied
as a direct offset to property
tax. .
"Oregon taxpayers should
have the opportunity of vot
ing on these amendments,"
the county assessor argued.
"Senate Bill 474 increases
basic school support to $140
with approval of the amend
ment. I would like to recom
mend that this be amended to
include an automatic escala
tor clause increasing this to
income from sales tax and no
surplus would be created in
the school fund," he said.
