The Act, this division and other applicable rules of the department, related documents, and applicable department determinations and orders constitute the program. The basic purpose of the program is to encourage construction or rehabilitation of eligible properties in areas of communities appropriately targeted under the program in order to augment the availability of suitable housing and to revitalize involved communities. Division 013 sets forth relevant aspects of the program, including processes and criteria for the designation of vertical housing development zones ("VHDZs"), for the application and approval of certified projects, for the calculation of any applicable partial property tax exemptions, and for the monitoring and maintenance of properties as qualifying certified projects.

(2) Division 013 is not meant to interfere with the direct administration of property tax assessments by county assessors and does not supersede administrative rules of the Department of Revenue in OAR chapter 150 pertaining to the valuation of property for purposes of property tax assessments, including as adopted or amended in the future.
