(1) Notwithstanding any other law, a local government may apportion a final assessment levied by it against a single tract or parcel of real property among all the parcels formed from a subsequent partition or other division of that tract or parcel, if the subsequent partition or division is in accordance with ORS § 92.010 to 92.192 and is consistent with all applicable comprehensive plans as acknowledged by the Land Conservation and Development Commission under ORS § 197.251. The proportionate distribution of a final assessment authorized under this subsection may be made whenever the final assessment remains wholly or partially unpaid, and full payment or an installment payment is not due.
