Statute Text
Redemption notice.
(1) A claimant who wishes to redeem property must serve the certificate holder
with a redemption notice. The notice must specify a date and approximate time
when the claimant will make payment to the sheriff, the redemption amount
calculated by the claimant and the manner in which the redemption amount was
calculated. The notice must include a mailing address for the claimant. The
date of the redemption must be a weekday that is not a legal holiday. The time
of the redemption must be between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. The notice
must inform the certificate holder if an accounting under ORS 18.980 is
required.
(2) If the
claimant is a lien claimant, the notice must reflect the nature of the lien
claimants interest and the claimant shall attach to the notice copies of any
documents necessary to establish that interest. If the claimant is a successor
in interest to another person with redemption rights under ORS 18.963, the
claimant shall attach to the notice copies of any documents necessary to
establish how the person acquired the interest. If the claimant claims to have
an interest with a priority that is superior to the interest of the certificate
holder, the claimant shall attach to the notice copies of any documents
necessary to establish that priority.
(3) A redemption
notice must be served by personal service or by first class mail. If the notice
is served by first class mail, service is effective on mailing. A copy of the
notice may be filed with the sheriff before the notice is given to the certificate
holder, but must be filed with the sheriff no later than seven days before the
redemption date specified in the notice. The notice must be served on the
certificate holder not more than 30 days before the payment date specified in
the redemption notice, and:
(a) Not less than
14 days before the payment date specified in the notice, if service is made by
first class mail; or
(b) Not less than
seven days before the payment date specified in the notice, if personal service
is made.
(4) A claimant
shall submit proof of service of the notice required by this section at the
time the claimant pays the sheriff under ORS 18.975.
(5) If a
certificate holder fails to comply with the requirements of ORS 18.930 (6) or
18.982, the certificate holder may not object to a redemption by reason of
failure to receive a redemption notice. [2005 c.542 §44a; 2007 c.580 §3]
