(2)

Notes of Decisions

The land and improvements must be stated separately and are not to be considered as a single entity. Nepom v. Dept. of Rev., 272 Or 249, 536 P2d 496 (1975)

Time requirements and budget limitations have caused Oregon counties, with legislative sanction of this section, to make use of trending and indexing to keep property values reasonably current. Price v. Dept. of Rev., 7 OTR 18 (1977)

Long standing administrative practice was to include development fees in land value. Lincoln County v. Dept. of Rev., 11 OTR 5 (1988)

Appraisal theory holds nonconforming use is exception to valuing land as vacant, but this section fails to recognize that exception, so lower “vacant” value must be placed on roll. Lincoln County v. Dept. of Rev., 11 OTR 5 (1988)

COMPLETED CITATIONS: J.R. Widmer, Inc. v. Dept. of Rev., 4 OTR 361 (1971), aff’d 261 Or 371, 494 P2d 854 (1972)
