OAR 738-010-0025
Types of Rates, Charges and Fees


Each user of an Oregon State-owned airport shall be charged one or more of the following types of rates, charges and fees for the use of the premises and the rights granted by the Department:

(1)

All leases of improved or unimproved state-owned land at state-owned airports shall include rent assessed at an annual rate per square foot. All rents and other charges for a lease of Department property shall reflect fair market rent as determined by first considering the fair market value established by the most recent appraisal of the property, if available, adjusted, if necessary, to reflect current lease market conditions as reflected in a market rent analysis conducted by a licensed real estate broker or a similar analysis conducted by Department staff experienced in such analysis. The market rent or similar analysis shall consider relevant circumstances including but not limited to whether the land is buildable and the restrictions, if any, that apply to the land. Lessees shall also pay all real property taxes and other taxes, if any, imposed on the leased property.

(a)

Rent shall be paid to the Department as follows:

(A)

Annually in full, with the first annual payment on or before the date the lease begins and subsequent payments on the anniversary date;

(B)

Monthly in equal installments, payable at the beginning of each month; or

(C)

By the terms of a payment-in-kind agreement that may constitute partial payment or full payment. The Department will determine and assign a value to payments in kind based upon a determination of the value of the goods, improvements or services actually received or to be provided. In kind payments are subject to rent escalation clauses. The determination of value will be based on an objective process which compares estimates obtained by the Department, the lessee or the proposed lessee from service providers for like services, goods or improvements. A payment-in-kind agreement and all documents used to determine payment-in-kind value must be retained in the lease file. Acceptance of an in kind payment offering requires documentation of an affirmative finding by the Department that the value of the in kind offering primarily benefits the airport generally rather than the individual lessee or the business of the individual lessee. Any payment-in-kind provision contained in an agreement executed before the effective date of this rule will be deemed valid. The Director must approve all payment-in-kind agreements prior to implementation.

(b)

In new or renewed leases where all or part of the capital improvements are constructed at the Department’s expense, the Department reserves the right to amortize all or part of the construction costs of the capital improvements, plus a reasonable rate of return as part of the rent, during the term of the lease.

(2)

A fuel flowage fee, not to exceed $0.12 per gallon, shall be assessed to each FBO for all types of fuel received from a commercial distributor. Fuel flowage fees shall be calculated from the FBO’s fuel flowage delivery report and shall be paid in full not later than two working days after the conclusion of the reporting period.

(3)

Each user with an agreement to access the State-owned airport property shall pay an access fee according to a published fee schedule. To ensure equity among all users, the schedule shall be based on the quantity and individual weight of user’s aircraft that will access the airport.
