By the end of the calendar year in which the facility is placed in service, the total cost of property and improvements (including
what is newly acquired but not exemptible) will equal or exceed: (a) an amount equal to 1% or 0.5% of the value of all nonexempt
taxable property in the county, up to but not more than $25 or $12.5 million, or (b) $200 million—relative to the facility location and
corresponding minimum for new hiring. See OAR 123-690-4000.
Within the applicable time frame (usually by the third year after the year in which operation of the facility begins), at least 10, 35, 50, or
75 new employees (whichever applies), who each work more than 32 hours per week (not equivalents), will have been hired and will
then be maintained by the firm to work at the facility (temporary and seasonal workers don’t qualify) in addition to the base number of
existing full-time firm employees (if any) as stipulated in written agreement with the zone sponsor. See OAR 123-690-4200.
Not later than the fifth year after the year in which operation of the facility begins and for the remainder of the exemption period, the
average of annualized compensation (with benefits) for all employees at the facility will be equal to or greater than 130% or 150%
of the county average annual wage as most recently available and final from the Employment Department at the time that this
requirement is initially met, and from that point forward, the average wage of all facility employees in each year of exemption will
also equal or exceed the most recently available county average wage at that time. See OAR 123-690-4600 and 123-690-5000.
All additional requirements or conditions contained in the written agreement with the zone sponsor will be satisfied. See OAR 123-690-2000.

pertain to the above commitments will be presented in writing to the local zone manager and county assessor, when each is initially
satisfied, on or before the mandatory time as noted above or as contained in applicable law and rules, or otherwise upon request by
state or local officials. See OAR 123-690-5200.
