Excise Tax Information
School District Construction Excise Tax
The 2007 Oregon Legislature passed SB 1036, a law that provides a financial tool to help school districts pay for capital improvements, expanded facilities, and equipment needed as a result of community growth. The law authorizes a school district, in cooperation with cities and counties, to tax new residential and non-residential development. Specifically, the tax applies to improvements to real property that result in a new structure or additional square footage to an existing structure. This most often occurs when someone removes a manufactured home and replaces it with a larger stick-bulit home. The excise revenue allows districts to purchase and prepare sites for future school facilities with the anticipation that new homes will bring more student.s The decision to impose a CET rests solely with the school district.
