Tax Relief Law for Farm Land
Not Used in Jackson County
A tax relief law tor farm
land, which was passed by
the Orogon state legislature
in 1061, has not been used
by Jackson county farmers,
according to County Assessor
Thad Hatten.
In fact, farmers in the
north Willamette valley coun
ties, are the only persons so
' far in Oregon who have taken
advantage of the law, he said.
The reason is that only land
which has been permanently
zoned exclusively for farm
use by cities or counties is
eligible.
Under the law, zoned farm
land is assessed at its true
cash value for farm uses and
not at the value it would have
if applied to other uses.
Example Cited
An example would be if!
a neighboring farmer subdi
' vided his property. If sur
rounding farm land is within
a permanently zoned area for
farm purposes, the increase in.
valuation of the neighboring!
property will not affect the
zoned farm land for tax pur
poses. Farm land eligible for lax
relief must be at least five
acres and shown on the tax
roll for the current year
which- during the previous
year. was. used) to raise, har-

could' take advantage of' the
tax relief law if present steps
being taken in the two areas
toward permanent zoning are
continued.
The Central Point area has
approved its development pat
tern and has made recommen
dations for changes in its pres
ent interim zoning ordinance.
The Southwest Phoenix area
did not approve a proposed
development pattern at a pub
lic hearing June 20 by the
county planning commission.
The hearing was continued
until July 18.
The remaining steps for the
North Central Point area be
fore it becomes permanently
zoned are:
- Submission by the coun
ty planning commission to
the county court a zoning or
dinance for the area which
puts into effect the approved
development pattern:
- The county court's ac
ceptance of the zoning ordi
nance; '
- A public hearing hold by
the county court' on the zin
in. ordironjeo; and
- The county court adapt

after the p.ublifc lrcar.igi few
b.een heldiby the county count
on the zoning' ordinance, 15
per cent of the legal voters in
the area may petition the
court for an election.
In Three-Year Period
The last two steps must be
accomplished by the county
court within a three-year pe
riod after the court's accept
ance of the ordinance.
As soon as all of the steps
have been taken by the inter
im zoned area and it is per
manent, then farmers within
that area will be eligible to
apply for lax relief.
Hatten said it is not known
how this law will affect local
taxes. The majority of the
work involved would be ad
ministrative, he added.
The new law promotes
"green belt" zoning which
has been a desired pari of de
velopment patterns during the
paM several years. Such zon

$23.6 Million Is
Spent on Food by
County Residents
With incomes at a higher
level in Jackson county, the
big question is "How much
of this money is being spent
in local retail stores and for
what?"
According to a market
study recently released, the
larger incomes led lo freer
spending on the part of local
residents in the past year.
The self-imposed restraints
that had resulted in their
shyi.ig away from big-ticket
purchases during the depres
sion of the previous year were
less evident.
The study, made by the
Standard Rate and Data Serv
ice, puts communities
throughout the country under
the spotlight with respect to
losal spending for food, cloth
ing, aulns, 'furniture ana the
like."
