(6) In addition to the notice required under subsection (1) of this section, a taxing district that is subject to the Local Budget Law shall also provide the documents required under ORS 294.458 (3). (7) Not later than July 15 of each year, the taxing district shall give the notice and documents described in this section to the assessor of the county in which the principal office of the taxing district is located and, if the taxing district is located in more than one county, to the assessor of each county in which any part of the taxing district is located. (8) The Department of Revenue shall prescribe the form of notice required under this section. All amounts contained in the notice must be stated in dollars and cents or ad valorem property tax rates in dollars and cents per thousand dollars of assessed value, as required by law. If the notice is given to the assessor, clerk or tax supervising and conservation commission of more than one county, a copy of each other such notice given must accompany every notice given.
