Speaking before the On tario Lions at their Tuesday luncheon meeting, Malheur County Assessor Oscar Brat ton toid the group that the assess« does not determine how much money is collected by property taxes • this he said is the responsibility of the budget committees of the different taxing districts and you the citizens that vote and approve these levies. Bratton said that it is then the assessor's duty to see that the tax burden is distributed as fair and equitable as possible accor ding to the laws governing property taxation. Bratton said that, "after nearly four _ years as your assessor. I can honestly say, that I believe that the position of county assessor is one of the most difficult jobs a person can hold, k takes a strong person for even though the pressure may at times be severe, you must still keep a cool head and not be forced into a hasty decision." "It's a must." he said, "that an assessor have a good working knowledge of trip to the TVCC chemistry lab to receive instruction in the identification of organic compounds. « Your Property Taxes by Oscar B. Bratton, Malheur County Assessor Question: After I become 65 years old is there some way to continue to live in my home w ithout being forced to sell because I cannot pay my taxes? Answer: Yes. ORS 311.668 is the Senior Citizen Resi dential law. The 1975 legisla ture reduced the age require ment to 62 years. By making application with the County Assessor and the State Treasurer each year between January 1 and April 1. a property owner age 62 or older may defer their resi dential property taxes until after death. The spouse may then elect to continue the deferral if he or she refiles within 90 days and will be 60 years of age no later than six months from the date of the death of the taxpayer. In the event that the spouse does not qualify or choose to continue the deferral, the taxes accumulated plus 6 percent interest become due and payable. In the event there is no spouse the heirs may redeem the property by paying taxes plus interest or the property will go into foreclosure and the taxes paid from sale of the estate. Even though the property taxes are being deferred the taxpayer may file and recieve the Homeowners and Renters Property Tax Refund - if they meet the household income limitations. Under the present law - this money may then be used to reduce the amount deferred or spent as they wish. The total tax amount deferred plus interest may be paid at any time if the taxpayer chooses to cancel the deferral. lalu Lv/ Bh fats For Homeowners WHEN IS A BARGAIN NOT A BARGAIN? edge« of poorly made pliers often wear, joint« looaen and the jaws lose their align- ment — so that tightening a faucet fitting can be difficult. Soldering guns and irons When is a bargain not a bar gain? Frequently, it’a an item of- fered at a "special reduced price.” Not always, but often, these "specials" are in fact just that—substitutes for the original, made for the "cents off' sale, or a "look-alike" to the brand accepted as the quality leader A case in point la hand tools for the homeowner's work shop. Here, high quality and true economy are one. A good hand tool, properly and aim ply cared for, should serve efficiently and last a human lifetime, and still be in shape for use by another gen eration. For real economy, buy top quality tools, advise expert tool makers such as the craftsmen who have made Nicholson uws and files for 112 years, Lufkin tapes and rules since before the tufli of the century, Weller soldet- ing equipment for genera tions, and high-quality Crescent brand pliers, wrenches and screwdrivers. Poorly made tools make home repair work more time consuming, difficult and ulti mately uneconomical. For example, the tips of run-of-the-mill variety screw drivers often chip and their Bhafta become loose in the handles. Thia can alow down a job that’s aa easy as fasten ing a door hinge. Gripping SPECIAL PURCHASES- They often give you ape ciel problems "Bargain” tools can wear out quickly and cost you more in the long run. on “apecial" can become too hot to handle to if a hard to do an easy electrical repair job. Poor quality measuring tape blade« can slip and markings wear away, ruining calcu lations before you start. Saw blade teeth naturally lose sharpnesa with use—those on a "special" can become blunt so quickly and regularly that they perform poorly and sharpening becomes a bud get burden. Remember that bargain hunting means searching for not just a low price, but a high quality, leading brand prod uct. This is especially true of tools which should be made to last a lifetime. If you keep canned fruits in a place no warmer than 75°F. they will usually retain their quality for a year or more. the Oregon Assessment Laws.” Bratton ended his infor mative talk with a question. "What does the Department of Revenue have to do with my office?" He answered by quoting OHS 305. (NO which states that the Department of Revenue shall exercise ge neral supervision and control over county assessors and county boards of equalisation to the end that equality of taxation according to law is secured.
