Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 553 § 553.280 — Undertaking prior to entry as part of condemnation proceedings

Undertaking prior to entry as part of condemnation proceedings. Prior to any party, officer or agent of a water control district entering upon any land sought to be condemned, there shall be furnished to the landowner a sufficient undertaking, either by surety bond, personal bond, cash or other security, in an amount sufficient to indemnify the landowner for the value of the land sought to be condemned, together with all costs and attorney fees to which the landowner may be entitled. This undertaking shall be conditioned that the district seeking to condemn the land shall pay to the owner all damages, costs and attorney fees that the owner may suffer by reason of the entry, or which may be awarded to the owner by a jury upon a trial of the cause.
