Bill > HB3190

This bill updates Oregon's historic property special assessment program by making several significant changes to the existing law. The bill modifies the definition of commercial property to include a broader range of property types, such as residential rental properties, office buildings, retail spaces, and hotels, while explicitly excluding owner-occupied private residences. It revises the application process for historic property special assessment, including changes to the preservation plan requirements, application fees, and documentation needed. The bill extends the program's availability, allowing applications to be filed until July 1, 2031, for property tax years beginning on or after July 1, 2032. Additionally, it updates various technical aspects of the program, such as clarifying owner definitions, modifying reporting requirements, and adjusting the process for disqualification from special assessment. The legislation aims to provide more flexibility and clarity in the historic property special assessment program while maintaining its core purpose of encouraging preservation of historically significant properties.
