(2)

Notwithstanding subsection (1)(a) of this section, the county assessor shall not disqualify land that has been receiving special assessment if the land is not being farmed because:

(b)

Severe drought conditions are declared under ORS 536.700 (“Drainage basin” defined) to 536.780 (Water conservation or curtailment plan).

(B)

Presents a certified remediation plan to the assessor within one year after the date of disqualification.

(b)

In addition to the grounds for disqualification under subsection (1)(a) of this section, the assessor may disqualify land granted farm use special assessment pursuant to a remediation plan upon:

(A)

Discovery, or notice from an extension agent of the Oregon State University Extension Service, that the plan is not being implemented substantially as certified; or

(B)

Discovery, or notice from the owner, tenant or lessee or from an extension agent of the Oregon State University Extension Service, that the plan as certified is no longer necessary, practicable or effective.

(b)

Paragraph (a) of this subsection shall apply only if the notice of disqualification required under ORS 308A.718 (Assessor to send notice upon disqualification or forestland change in use) is mailed by the county assessor prior to August 15 of the tax year for which the disqualification of the land is asserted.

(5)

Upon disqualification, additional taxes shall be determined as provided in ORS 308A.700 (Definitions for ORS 308A.700 to 308A.733) to 308A.733 (Withdrawal of change of special assessment application). [Formerly 308.397; 2009 c.776 §3]
