(1) Before issuing any certificate under ORS 294.175, the Department of Revenue shall estimate the amount available in the County Assessment Function Funding Assistance Account created under ORS 294.184 for distribution as grants to counties for the ensuing fiscal year.
(2) The estimate shall be used to determine the estimated percent of the moneys available in the County Assessment Function Funding Assistance Account that each county will receive as grants and the total estimated grant that each county will receive for the ensuing fiscal year. The estimates so determined shall serve as the estimates required to be included in any certification issued under ORS 294.175 for that county.
(3) On or before the 25th day of the month following the close of each fiscal quarter, the department shall pay a percentage of the moneys in the County Assessment Function Funding Assistance Account as of the close of that fiscal quarter to each county to which a certificate has been issued under ORS 294.175.
(4) Except as provided under subsection (5) of this section, the percentage to be paid to each county under subsection (3) of this section shall be the percentage that the expenditures of the county certified by the department to the county governing body under ORS 294.175 bears to the total of all expenditures of all counties certified by the department to counties under ORS 294.175. In determining the expenditures of a county or in determining the total of all expenditures for purposes of this subsection:
(a) No expenditures shall be included that have not been certified under ORS 294.175.
(b) No expenditures of any county that did not file an estimate of expenditures under ORS 294.175 shall be included.
(c) No expenditures of any county for which certification has been denied shall be included.
(d) No expenditures of any county that does not make its appropriation under ORS 294.435 based upon 100 percent of the expenditures certified shall be included.
(e) No expenditures of any county that does not certify compliance under ORS 294.181 shall be included.
(5) If the expenditures of a county are not included for a fiscal quarter on account of subsection (4) of this section, no grant shall be made to that county under subsection (3) of this section for that fiscal quarter. If grant funds are denied to any county under this subsection for any fiscal quarter, the percentage determined under subsection (4) of this section shall be redetermined, excluding from the computation for that fiscal quarter the certified expenditures of the county for which grant funds are denied to the end that all of the funds available in the County Assessment Function Funding Assistance Account as of the close of the fiscal quarter may be distributed.
