To aid the county court or board of county commissioners and the Department of Revenue in ascertaining whether a county assessor is maintaining a county’s appraisal program, the county assessor must present, with the annual ratio study required by ORS 309.200 (Assessor to collect sales data and prepare ratio study), a written report as to the current status of the overall program of property appraisals in the county, specifying what property was reappraised in the past year and what is to be reappraised in the current year. [1967 c.316 §2 (2); 1981 c.804 §30; 1989 c.796 §16; 1991 c.459 §86]
ORS 309.200 (Assessor to collect sales data and prepare ratio study)
1) Between January 1 and December 31 of each year the county assessor shall collect sales data for a ratio study.
(2)
The assessor shall prepare and complete a certified ratio study in the
time and manner provided by the rules adopted by the Department of

and ratio study with the department, as prescribed by department rule.

"As stated earlier, ratio studies are primarily conducted to determine the extent to which local governments are upholding statutory requirements governing the level and uniformity of assessments and to make appropriate adjustments where they are not. The most important step in the verification process is the calculation of a measure of central tendency from the individual parcel ratios (of assessed value to either sale price or appraised value) that are available. Several alternative statistics can be used to measure central tendency. They would have identical values for a perfect normal distribution of parcel ratios, but they normally diverge in practice since the distribution seldom meets this strict criterion."

House Bill (HB) 2088, as introduced, would grant authority to a city by ordinance or resolution to require calculation by the county assessor of the Changed Property Ratio (CPR) within that city rather than county-wide.
Under Oregon’s complex property tax system, a large portion of which was embedded in the Oregon Constitution by Ballot Measure 50 (1997), new real property is put on the tax roll at a maximum assessed value (MAV) determined by a calculation. First, the property must be identified by category, examples of which include residential, industrial, commercial, machinery & equipment, apartment, or manufactured home. Each category has a Changed Property Ratio (CPR) in each county determined by dividing the average MAV by the average real market value of unchanged property of that category in the county. New property of that category is given a MAV that results from multiplying the CPR (typically a fraction of the number 1) times the real market value (RMV) of the new property
HB
2088 would authorize a city to require the county assessor to calculate
the CPR for properties within the city based only on properties within
that city.AOC and the Assessors Association opposed the application of the concept statewide, because it would add complexity and uncertainty of administration; require additional time and expense to monitor, track, maintain and explain multiple CPRs in the county; and county computer software would need to be programmed to handle the change.
The City of Gresham sponsored the bill and the League of Oregon Cities endorsed it. Gresham determined that the CPR for the city is a larger fraction than for Multnomah County, and Gresham is expecting a surge in residential development. After negotiations among the city, county, AOC and assessors, Multnomah County agreed to amendments that confine the concept to its cities. On May 11th, the House Revenue Committee adopted amendments that confine the concept to Multnomah County, and sent HB 2088A to the House floor with a “do pass” recommendation. The amendments include specific provisions insisted upon by the assessors: county cost recovery up to $60,000; a commitment by the city of the city CPR for at least five years; and a beginning date of January 1, 2019, unless the Multnomah County Assessor consents to January 1, 2018.

The above ratios are applied to the real market value of new property or improvements to property
per ORS. 308.153. These ratios are calculated and applied each year based on the primary
property class for each property. The ratio is only applied to that portion of value that is new.
This adjusted new value is then added to the Maximum Assessed value of any existing property.
ORS. 308.153 was part of Ballot Measure 50 that was implemented in 1997. The statute states in part... "If new property is added to the assessment roll or improvements are made to property as of January 1 of the assessment year....the value of the new property or new improvements determined under this section shall be multiplied by the ratio."
