2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 06 - Local Government, Public Employees, Elections|Chapter 221 - Organization and Government of Cities|Section 221.505 - Policy.

The Legislative Assembly recognizes that significant changes have occurred in the regulation, technology and marketing of telecommunications carriers as defined in ORS 133.721 over the past decade. It is the intent of the Legislative Assembly in adopting the privilege tax authorized by ORS 221.505 to 221.515 and 759.219 to respond to these changes by establishing a uniform base for municipal charges for street use by telecommunications carriers. [1989 c.484 §1; 1999 c.1093 §8]

(b) Require any telecommunications carrier, by ordinance or otherwise, to make such modifications, additions and extensions to its physical equipment, facilities or plant or service within such municipality as shall be reasonable or necessary in the interest of the public, and designate the location and nature of all additions and extensions, the time within which they must be completed and all conditions under which they must be constructed.

2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 06 - Local Government, Public Employees, Elections|Chapter 221 - Organization and Government of Cities|Section 221.515 - Privilege tax on telecommunications carriers; maximum rate; deduction of additional fees.

(1) The council of every municipality in this state may levy and collect from every telecommunications carrier operating within the municipality and actually using the streets, alleys or highways, or all of them, in such municipality for other than travel, a privilege tax for the use of those streets, alleys or highways, or all of them, in such municipality in an amount which may not exceed seven percent of the gross revenues of the telecommunications carrier currently earned within the boundaries of the municipality. The privilege tax authorized in this section shall be for each year, or part of each year, that such telecommunications carrier operates within the municipality. (2) As used in this section, "gross revenues" means those revenues derived from exchange access services, as defined in ORS 403.105, less net uncollectibles from such revenues. (3) A telecommunications carrier paying the privilege tax authorized by this section shall not be required to pay any additional fee, compensation or consideration, including the free use or construction of telecommunications facilities and equipment, to the municipality for its use of public streets, alleys, or highways, or all of them, and shall not be required to pay any additional tax or fee on the gross revenues that are the measure of the privilege tax. As used in this subsection, "use" includes, but is not limited to, street openings, construction and maintenance of fixtures or facilities by telecommunications carriers. As used in this subsection, "additional fee, compensation or consideration" does not include commissions paid for siting public telephones on municipal property. To the extent that separate fees are imposed by the municipality on telecommunications carriers for street openings, construction, inspection or maintenance of fixtures or facilities, such fees may be deducted from the privilege tax authorized by this section. However, telecommunications carriers shall not deduct charges and penalties imposed by the municipality for noncompliance with charter provisions, ordinances, resolutions or permit conditions from the privilege tax authorized by this section. (4) For purposes of this section, "telecommunications carrier" has the meaning given that term in ORS 133.721. [1989 c.484 §5; 1999 c.1093 §10]
