(1)(a) The consolidated billing tax rate of the following urban renewal plans shall be determined under paragraph (b) of this subsection:

(A) An existing urban renewal plan (other than an existing urban renewal plan designated as an Option Three plan under ORS 457.435 (2)(c));

(B) An urban renewal plan that was an existing urban renewal plan on October 6, 2001, (other than an existing urban renewal plan designated as an Option Three plan under ORS 457.435 (2)(c)) and that was substantially amended as described in ORS 457.085 (2)(i)(A) or (B) on or after October 6, 2001; and

(C) An urban renewal plan adopted on or after October 6, 2001.

(b)(A) The consolidated billing tax rate of an urban renewal plan described in paragraph (a) of this subsection equals the total of all district tax rates used to extend taxes after any adjustment to reflect tax offsets under ORS 310.105.

(B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, the consolidated billing tax rate of an urban renewal plan described in paragraph (a) of this subsection excludes any rate derived from:

(i) An urban renewal special levy under ORS 457.435.

(ii) A local option tax, as defined in ORS 280.040, that is approved by taxing district electors after October 6, 2001.

(iii) A tax pledged to repay exempt bonded indebtedness (other than exempt bonded indebtedness used to fund local government pension and disability plan obligations that, until funded by the exempt bonded indebtedness, were described in Article XI, section 11 (5), of the Oregon Constitution), as defined in ORS 310.140, that is approved by taxing district electors after October 6, 2001.

(iv) The increase in the rate of ad valorem property tax allowable under Article XI, section 11 (5)(d), of the Oregon Constitution, for a school district with a statutory rate limit on July 1, 2003, that is greater than $4.50 per $1,000 of assessed value, to the extent that the increase is excluded from local revenues, as that term is used in ORS chapter 327, and provided that the school district notifies the county assessor of the rate to be excluded for the current fiscal year not later than July 15.

(2)(a) The consolidated billing tax rate of all other urban renewal plans equals the total of all district ad valorem property tax rates used to extend taxes after any adjustments to reflect tax offsets under ORS 310.105.

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this subsection, the consolidated billing tax rate of urban renewal plans referred to in paragraph (a) of this subsection excludes:

(A) An urban renewal special levy rate under ORS 457.435.

(B) A new local option tax.

(3)(a) Notwithstanding subsection (2)(b)(B) of this section, the consolidated billing tax rate of urban renewal plans referred to in subsection (2)(a) of this section includes a new local option tax imposed in a fiscal year for which the urban renewal agency files with the county assessor an impairment certificate in the manner described in paragraph (b) of this subsection not later than the May 1 immediately preceding the beginning of the fiscal year.

(b) An impairment certificate must:

(A) Identify the urban renewal plan to which it relates;

(B) Instruct the county assessor to include the new local option tax in the consolidated billing tax rate for the urban renewal plan for the ensuing fiscal year;

(C) State that the urban renewal agency has reasonably determined that excluding the new local option tax from the consolidated billing tax rate for the fiscal year under this subsection would impair contracts that the agency has entered into with owners of indebtedness incurred before October 7, 2013, to carry out an urban renewal plan described in subsection (2) of this section; and

(D) Be signed by an authorized representative of the agency.

(4)(a) Notwithstanding subsection (2) of this section, the governing body of a municipality that adopted an urban renewal plan before December 5, 1996 (other than an existing urban renewal plan designated as an Option Three plan under ORS 457.435 (2)(c)), that would otherwise be required to use a consolidated billing tax rate determined under subsection (2) of this section may, by resolution or ordinance, irrevocably elect to have amounts collected by dividing the taxes for the urban renewal plan pursuant to ORS 457.440 be determined under subsection (1)(b) of this section.

(b) An election made pursuant to this subsection applies first to the assessment roll next following if the assessor has received notice of the election from the urban renewal agency before January 1.

(5) As used in this section, “new local option tax” means a local option tax, as defined in ORS 280.040, that is approved by taxing district electors after January 1, 2013.
