Abstract
  • Starting in the 1960's, the demand for recreational properties nationwide experienced a great surge. [Reilly, 1973; David, 1969; Hoover, n.d.; ASPO, 1976] A number of studies have been done of the impact of recreational subdivisions on local taxes. [Tillson, et. al. 1972; Thompson and Myrick, 1975; LeJeune, 1972; Moss and Clonts, 1972; ASPO, 1976; Brown, 1970] These studies generally indicate that such subdivisions tend to be a fiscal boon initially (lowering local residents' taxes) and that at some point in their development they may become a fiscal burden as the number of year-round resident families increases. The present report is a case study of three types of rural subdivisions in Klamath County, Oregon: (1) exurban subdivisions (i.e., rural ranchettes on the fringe of a small town near the urban center of the county); (2) small town fringe subdivisions (i.e., large lot subdivisions on the fringe of a small unincorporated town); and (3) rural "recreational" subdivisions (i.e., large lot subdivisions in an isolated rural area). The report examines the characteristics of these three types of subdivisions and finds them to be similar in terms of the factors affecting fiscal impacts: the rate of residential development, the public services provided, the number of year-round resident families and the proportion of out-of-county owners. The fiscal impacts of the various types of subdivisions are estimated and the factors which explain the differences are identified. The report concludes with some observations about what are being presented to planning commissions as "recreational" subdivisions.
