Terms Used In Oregon Statutes 308.477
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
(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.
