BONB REPAYMENT OUTSIDE LIMIT
NO
QUESTION: Shall Oregon's Constitutionbe amended allowing local voters
to authorize taxes outside Article XI limit to repay urban renewal bonds?
EXPLANATION: Payments for bonds are generally excluded from the property tax
rate limit, but courts have inteq3reted Ballot Measure 5, adopted in 1990, to include
laxes to pay urban renewal bonds within the limit. This measure maintains the limit on
urban renewal bonds, which may be used for commanily development and housing,
unless local voters authorize bond payment outside the limit. If this measure passes,
cities or counties could ask voters to approve taxes outside the tax limitation to repay
current or future urban renewal bonds,
ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL IMPACT- Local revenue impact: No direct impact.
To the extent voters approve urban renewal taxes to repay debt outside Measure 5's
limits, urban renewal revenue will increase. If taxes imposed outside the limit replace
levies currently imposed inside the limit and the area is currently above the Measure 5
nonschool limit, local city and county revenue will increase. State revenue impact: No
direct impact.
