Property tax incentives impact study: final report

The purpose of this study is to measure the return on investment (ROI) to Oregon's economy from employment and payroll growth related to business investments under the Standard Enterprise Zone, Long-Term Rural Enterprise Zone and Strategic Investment incentive programs. The economic impacts of this growth, and associated employee income tax revenues, can be compared to the property taxes abated on new property investments by businesses using these programs to measure the ROI resulting from these incentive programs, and to provide greater quantitative insights as to how the incentives may benefit Oregon and the affected communities.Executive summary -- Introduction -- Job growth trends -- Economic impacts of job and payroll growth -- Employee personal income taxes and property taxes abated -- Local benefits from incentivized partners -- Return on investment calculations -- Economic impacts of construction -- Impacts of incentives on investment and site location decisions -- Economic leakages and other costs of incentives -- Interviews -- Background on incentive programs -- QCEW records and procedures for determining employment change -- Background on the IMPLAN model -- Background information on Oregon property taxes -- Review of previous research to quantify the value of enterprise zone incentives and other metricsprepared for Business Oregon ; Applied Economics and TadZoTitle from PDF caption (viewed on March 28, 2022)"The success of this study is possible because of assistance from the Oregon Employment Department's Workforce and Economic Research Division and Department of Revenue's Research Section"--AcknowledgementsThis archived document is maintained by the State Library of Oregon as part of the Oregon Documents Depository Program.
