Preliminary Certification Application (July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010)

There are 111 Oregon cities where businesses that locate a facility inside the city's urban growth boundary may receive Oregon Investment Advantage income tax exemption (subject to certification criteria). This exemption is granted without regard to zoning codes or the type of activity or operations in which the firm is engaging for the first time in Oregon. (Elsewhere in eligible counties, facilities must be located on industrially zoned land and be engaged in a traded-sector industry.)
