17.12.130 Segregation of Assessments.

City Code Section
  1. A. A lien against the real property in favor of the City may be segregated on the application of the owner(s), subject to the provisions of this Section and any rules adopted by the City Administrator.
  2. B. Applications must be made to the City Administrator and must include:
    1. 1. A legal description of each tract to be segregated;
    2. 2. Documentation demonstrating that each tract to be segregated is a lot or parcel created by a subdivision, partition or other division of the original tract of land in accordance with ORS 92.010 to 92.190, and is consistent with all applicable comprehensive plans;
    3. 3. The names of the owners of each tract, and the name of each person who will own each parcel should the segregation be approved; and
    4. 4. A full legal description that will be assigned by the County Assessor for each lot or parcel that is created as a result of the segregation.
  3. C. No segregation may be made unless each part of the original tract of land after the segregation has a true cash value, as determined from the certificate of the county assessor, of 200 percent or more of the amount of the lien as to each segregated tract concerned.
  4. D. The revenue service and program of the City Administrator will compute a segregation of the lien against the real property on the same basis as it was originally computed and apportioned and will record the segregation in the lien docket. If the original tract has been divided by filing of a condominium plat, the applicant for segregation may propose an alternative, equitable basis for computing segregation of the lien. The alternative proposed segregation will be subject to the Council’s approval by ordinance.
  5. E. No assessment may be segregated until all outstanding delinquent City liens on the property are brought current.
  6. F. The revenue service and program of the City Administrator will charge a fee for the segregation of assessments. The fee will be based in part on the number of lots or parcels that result from the segregation. The segregation fee may be amended from time to time and will be stated in the Fees & Charges schedule maintained in the revenue service and program of the City Administrator.
