Statute Text
applies, if the owner or beneficiary of such right of repurchase does
not accept such offer within 30 days, the right of repurchase is terminated and
the condemner may use and dispose of such property or portion as otherwise
provided by law.
(b) In the case
of an offer to repurchase only a portion of a parcel of real property to which
ORS 35.385 applies, the owner or beneficiary of such right of repurchase may:
(A) Accept such
offer within 30 days; or
(B) Notify the
condemner within 30 days of the desire of the owner or beneficiary to exercise
such right, but refuse to accept the price established by the condemner in the
offer to repurchase made pursuant to ORS 35.390 (4).
(c) If the owner
or beneficiary of the right of repurchase fails to timely notify the condemner
pursuant to either paragraph (b)(A) or (B) of this subsection, the right of
repurchase is terminated and the condemner may use or dispose of such portion
of property as otherwise provided by law.
(d) If timely
notice of intent to exercise the right of repurchase is given by the owner or
beneficiary as provided by paragraph (b)(B) of this subsection, the owner or
beneficiary must within 60 days thereafter commence an action, in the court in
which the original action by the condemner to acquire such real property was
commenced, to determine the sole issue of the price to be paid upon such
repurchase, pursuant to the provisions of ORS 35.390 (3). Failure to commence
such an action within such 60-day period shall void such notice of intention to
exercise repurchase for the purposes of paragraph (c) of this subsection.
(A) Upon the
determination of the price for repurchase by the court or jury, the court shall
give judgment vesting title to the property in the owner or the beneficiary,
conditioned upon payment into court of the assessed price by the owner or
beneficiary within 90 days after the date of the judgment; and upon the making
of such payment, the judgment shall become effective to convey the property and
the right of possession thereof to the owner or beneficiary. Failure to make
such payment into court within 90 days of the date of the judgment shall void
the notice of intent to exercise the right of repurchase for the purposes of
paragraph (c) of this subsection, and the judgment shall be withdrawn by the
court.
(B) If the price
determined pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph is less than the price
established by the condemner in its written offer to repurchase, the costs and
disbursements of the owner or beneficiary, as specified in ORS 35.335 and 35.346,
shall be taxed by the clerk; and the judgment rendered shall reflect such costs
and disbursements only as an offset against the price to be paid into court by
the owner or beneficiary. [1973 c.720 §5]
