Board approves St. Cousair application for Rural Industrial Tax Exemption

Yamhill County Board of Commissioners · August 20, 2026

Summary

The Board unanimously approved a Rural Industrial Tax Exemption application for St. Cousair; applicant said company growth since 2017 was about $5,000,000 and the exemption requires sign‑off by 75% of taxing districts and annual compliance reporting.

The Yamhill County Board of Commissioners voted Aug. 20 to approve a Rural Industrial Tax Exemption application from St. Cousair, a company that presented growth of roughly $5,000,000 since 2017.

Naoki Kuze summarized the company’s operations, noting the exemption is intended to encourage continued growth. Commissioners were told the application must be signed by 75% of the taxing districts before filing with the County Assessor and that the company must submit annual reports to demonstrate continued compliance with the program. Commissioner Johnston moved approval; the motion passed with Commissioners Johnston, Starrett and King voting aye.

County staff did not provide a projected dollar value for the exemption in the meeting record; the Board’s action was approval of the application to proceed through the statutory sign‑off and assessor filing process.
