ORS 308.477: Termination of limited assessment for incomplete construction or noncompliance; appeal; revaluation; tax liability.

(1) Except as provided in ORS 308.479, if, after a certificate of qualification has been filed with the county assessor under ORS 308.466, the governing body finds that the rehabilitation improvements were not completed on or before January 1, 2017, or that any provision of ORS 308.450 to 308.481 is not being complied with, or any provision required by the governing body pursuant to ORS 308.450 to 308.481 is not being complied with, it shall give notice in writing to the owner, mailed to the owner’s last-known address, of the proposed termination of the limited assessment. The notice shall state the reasons for the proposed termination and shall require the owner to appear at a specified time, not less than 20 days after mailing the notice, to show cause, if any, why the limited assessment should not be terminated. (2) If the owner does not appear or appears and fails to show cause why the limited assessment should not be terminated, the governing body shall terminate the limited assessment. A copy of the termination shall be filed with the county assessor and a copy sent to the owner at the owner’s last-known address, within 10 days after its adoption. (3) The owner may appeal the termination to the circuit court, and from the decision of the circuit court to the Court of Appeals, as provided by law. (4) If no appeal is taken as provided in subsection (3) of this section, or upon final adjudication, the county officials having possession of the assessment and tax rolls shall correct the rolls in the manner provided for omitted property under ORS 311.216 to 311.232 to provide for the assessment and taxation of any value not included in the valuation of the rehabilitation improvements during the period of limited assessment prior to termination by the governing body or by a court, in accordance with the findings of the governing body or the court as to the assessment year in which the limited assessment is to terminate. The county assessor shall make the valuation of the property necessary to permit correction of the rolls, and the owner may appeal the valuation in the manner provided under ORS 311.216 to 311.232. Where there has been a failure to comply, as provided in subsection (1) of this section, the property shall be revalued beginning January 1 of the assessment year in which the noncompliance first occurred. Any additional taxes becoming due shall be payable without interest if paid in the period prior to the 16th day of the month next following the month of correction. If not paid within such period, the additional taxes shall thereafter be considered delinquent on the date they would normally have become delinquent if timely extended on the roll or rolls in the year or years for which the correction was made.
