Oregon Tax Rolls Raise Cash Value For Veterans Bonds
The increase in true cash value for all utility companies is 96 million 579 thousand 610 dollars. Counties assess below true cash value and tax bills are set by county ratifications from the State Tax Commission. The state average assessment rate is 34.773 percent, ranging from 22 percent in Polk to 48 percent in Multnomah. Governor Holmes says higher taxable property value will allow the Department of Veterans Affairs to float about 5 million dollars in bonds to provide loans for an estimated 500 more veterans, with the current average loan to eligible veterans at 9,300 dollars.
