Nothing contained in ORS § 224.010 to 224.170 shall authorize the city to assess any property now included in any drainage district organized under ORS § 547.005 to 547.030 and beyond the limits of the city unless the owner of such property or the officers of such district consent thereto. However, if the owner of property in such district at any time desires to connect with and utilize any sewer or drain constructed pursuant to ORS § 224.020, a just and equitable assessment may be made and charged against the property owned by the owner and especially and peculiarly benefited by such connection.
Terms Used In Oregon Statutes 224.130
- City: includes any incorporated village or town. See Oregon Statutes 174.100
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
