Taxes

Sales Tax Oregon has no general sales tax.

Property Tax
Property—Who pays? Owners of real and business personal property, according to the assessed value of taxable residential, commercial, farm, industrial, utility and timber property.

County assessors use permanent rates set for all taxing districts in fiscal year 1997–98, when taxes were significantly reduced with a statewide average 17 percent cut in tax levies. Certain types of levies are outside this reduction. The tax rates cannot exceed $15 per $1,000 of real market value. For 1997–98, all property was valued by county assessors at 90 percent of the July 1, 1995, levels. For subsequent years, assessed values are limited to a 3 percent annual growth rate. Construction since July 1, 1995, is valued at the average rate of similar properties in the area. Business personal property requires annual filing. One–third payment is due by November 15. If fully paid by November 15, a 3 percent discount is allowed. Special exemptions, tax relief programs and deferrals are available. For more information contact the Washington County assessor’s office at 503–648–8741.

Plans for Upgrading or Expanding: Hillsboro is partnering with TVWD to install a new 72-inch transmission pipeline that will carry water from the JWC Treatment Plant to Hillsboro, via a route along Tualatin Valley Highway, construction to be completed July 2003. This pipeline is designed to carry more than 80 million gallons (MG) of water per day for Hillsboro and TVWD customers. The project is funded by the system development charges levied on new construction projects in Hillsboro and TVWD, and will provide enough transmission capacity to meet water demands for years to come. Currently under construction is a new, 15 MG, in-town reservoir. The tank is situated on the northeast side of town and will hold a three-day supply of water. Plans are also being made to renovate the 6 MG Reservoir on 24th Avenue, which was originally built in the 1960’s. Hillsboro will also participate in the proposed JWC plan to build another 20 MG reservoir on Fern Hill. The construction of this reservoir will provide additional emergency water for all members of the JWC in the event of a treatment plant shutdown. Hillsboro is participating in the Tualatin Basin study to determine the best method of obtaining additional raw water storage for the region Hillsboro is also participating in a project that involves the development of a large diameter raw water pipeline system that will extend from Scoggins Reservoir (Hagg Lake) to the Joint Water Commission's Water Treatment Plant on Fern Hill Road. Hillsboro is looking to provide for future water needs, while maintaining the delicate balance between supply, demand and environmental stewardship. Source: City Administration

Electrical—Provider: Portland General Electric
Lines and Feed: Power is transmitted to the Portland area through 230kV transmission lines, where the voltage is stepped down to 115kV (and in some cases 57kV) for power transmission to distribution substations throughout the region. At each distribution substation, the voltage is further stepped down to 13kV for distribution through neighborhoods to homes and businesses. Customers can elect to choose the voltage at which they receive electric power service. Most homes and smaller businesses choose 120V/480V. Larger businesses can receive power at either 13kV or 115kV, and use their own transformers and other equipment to step down the voltage to meet their specific requirements. For businesses with power-sensitive and high-reliability needs, special site-specific arrangements may be made, such as alternative service and backup generators. PGE offers Reliability Centers in four locations to serve clusters of customers with these, or similar, requirements.

Rate Structure Residential rate (Schedule 7): $10 Basic Charge for single phase service and $16 for three phase service, plus 5.918 cents per kWh for the first 250 kWh and 7.029 cents for all additional kWh above 250 kWh, plus 3 percent public purpose charge and 38 cents per bill for low-income bill payment assistance.

Small nonresidential rate (Schedule 32 or less than 30 kW): $10 Basic Charge for single phase service and $16 for three phase service, plus 7.547 cents per kWh for the first 5,000 kWh and 5.461 cents per kWh for all additional kWh above 5,000 kWh. This includes 0.038 cents per kWh for the low-income bill payment assistance program, which is not subject to the 3 percent public purpose charge.
Large nonresidential and industrial rate: These customers can choose their energy supplier. They are able to choose from a range of energy supply plans from their utility (daily, monthly, quarterly or annual pricing), or secure a negotiated arrangement with an Energy Service Supplier (ESS). In all instances, power distribution to the customer site remains a regulated utility activity.

For additional information, visit http://www.portlandgeneral.com/ or call PGE Customer Service 1-800-542-8818.


Plans for Upgrade/Expansion: Businesses seeking to expand should contact the utility to ensure that electrical distribution feeders and other facilities used to deliver power to the customer site are adequate.
