Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 607 § 607.032 — Publication of county governing body declarations

Publication of county governing body declarations. (1) If a county governing body declares the formation of a livestock district, or the annexation of land to a livestock district, the county clerk shall give notice of the formation or annexation by publication, in the newspaper having the largest general circulation in the county, once a week for two consecutive weeks, that on and after the 60th day from the date of the first publication of the notice it shall be unlawful for livestock or a class of livestock to be permitted to run at large within the boundaries of the livestock district. The notice shall state the district boundaries as existing following the county governing body declaration and shall also set forth the penalties for violation of ORS 607.045. A notice of livestock district formation shall also state the name by which the district is to be known. (2) If the county governing body declares the withdrawal of land from a livestock district or the dissolution of a livestock district, the county clerk shall give notice of the withdrawal or dissolution by publication, in the newspaper having the largest general circulation in the county, once a week for two consecutive weeks, that on and after the 60th day from the date of the first publication of the notice it shall be lawful for livestock or a class of livestock to run at large within the area affected by the withdrawal or dissolution. The notice shall state the boundaries of the area affected by the county governing body declaration. (3) The county clerk shall maintain a copy of each notice published under this section in the county records. The county clerk shall also mail one certified copy of the last publication of the notice, by certified or registered mail, to the State Department of Agriculture. Formation of, annexation to, withdrawal from or dissolution of a livestock district is not effective until the later of the date in the notice published under this section or the date the certified copy of the last published notice is sent to the department.
