Josephine County approves participation in CAFFA grant
Summary
The Board approved Resolution No. 2026-007 to participate in the County Assessment Function Funding Assistance (CAFFA) program, which redistributes state-collected funds to qualifying county assessor offices and offsets part of the Assessor's Office budget.
The Josephine County Board of Commissioners voted to participate in the County Assessment Function Funding Assistance program after a presentation by County Assessor Chris Parton.
Parton told the board the CAFFA program distributes funds collected at the state level — such as recording fees and delinquent tax interest — to counties that meet state property tax compliance criteria. He said the grant offsets a portion of the Assessor's Office budget and provides a financial benefit to the county.
Commissioners discussed the program's structure and the source of the funds. No objections were raised, and the board executed the required resolution (Board Resolution No. 2026-007) to ensure timely submission.
The action is administrative and intended to secure grant funds for assessment operations; no additional appropriations or substantive policy changes were recorded during the workshop.
