OAR 150-308-0170: Establishing a Changed Property Ratio

(1) The assessor must establish a CPR for property classes 0 through 8 each assessment year. For determining the ratio of the average maximum assessed value over the average real market value, only the first digit of the property class needs to be recognized. These ratios must be rounded to three decimals. (a) Property classes may be combined to arrive at a ratio. The resulting ratio would become the CPR for each property class used to calculate the ratio. (b) For specially assessed properties, only the non-specially assessed portion of value will be used to determine a ratio. For specially assessed properties such as farm or timber, the assessor may use either of the following methods to arrive at a CPR: (A) The non-specially assessed portion of the unchanged 5-x-x or 6-x-x property classes may be used to create the CPR for those classes; or, (B) The 4-x-x property class values may be combined with the non-specially assessed values from the 5-x-x and/or 6-x-x property classes to calculate the ratio. The resulting ratio would become the CPR for each property class used to calculate the ratio. (2) Residential property class (1-x-x) includes all manufactured structures and floating homes not assigned to other property classes. (3) For locally and centrally assessed property, the value of the CPR may not be greater than 1.000.
