Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 18 § 18.978 — Court

Court proceedings on objections. (1) If an objection is filed under ORS 18.971 or 18.973, the sheriff shall transmit to the court administrator copies of all records relating to the sale that are within the sheriff’s possession. (2) The court shall schedule a hearing on an objection filed under ORS 18.971 or 18.973 as soon as possible. (3) If a certificate holder files an objection under ORS 18.971, and the court determines that the claimant is eligible to redeem, the court shall direct the sheriff to issue a certificate of redemption to the claimant, dated as of the date that the receipt was issued under ORS 18.975. If the court determines that the claimant is not eligible to redeem, the court shall direct the sheriff to refund all amounts paid by the claimant to the sheriff. (4) If an objection is filed by a claimant under ORS 18.973, the court shall determine the proper redemption amount. If the court determines that the proper redemption amount is greater than the amount paid under ORS 18.975, the court shall direct the sheriff to issue a certificate of redemption to the claimant upon payment of the additional amounts plus interest within 10 days after entry of the court’s order, dated as of the date that the receipt was issued under ORS 18.975. If the additional amounts and interest are not paid within the time allowed, the redemption is void and the sheriff shall refund to the claimant all amounts paid to the sheriff. If the court determines that the proper redemption amount is less than the amount paid under ORS 18.975, the court shall direct the sheriff to issue a certificate of redemption to the claimant, dated as of the date that the receipt was issued under ORS 18.975, and order a refund to the claimant of the amounts determined by the court to be in excess of the proper redemption amount. (5) Upon issuance of a certificate of redemption under this section, the sheriff shall deliver to the certificate holder the amount determined to be the proper redemption amount. (6) If the court determines under subsection (4) of this section that the proper redemption amount is greater than the amount paid under ORS 18.975, and determines that the amount specified in the redemption notice does not represent a good faith attempt to determine the proper redemption amount, the court shall enter judgment against the claimant for all attorney fees incurred by the certificate holder in the proceedings.
