The Oregon Local Property Tax Levies Amendment, known in the legislature as Senate Joint Resolution 10, did not make the November 2014 statewide ballot in Oregon as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. The measure would have amended Article XI of the Oregon Constitution to allow local voters to pass property tax levies that exceed the current statewide limits of $5 per $1,000 of assessed valuation for school districts and $10 per $1000 of assessed valuation for all other local governments. SJR 10 failed in the legislature on July 8, 2013.[1]
