(1) Notwithstanding any other law, a local government may apportion a final assessment levied by it against a single tract or parcel of real property among all the parcels formed from a subsequent partition or other division of that tract or parcel, if the subsequent partition or division is in accordance with ORS 92.010 to 92.190 and is consistent with all applicable comprehensive plans as acknowledged by the Land Conservation and Development Commission under ORS 197.251. The proportionate distribution of a final assessment authorized under this subsection may be made whenever the final assessment remains wholly or partially unpaid, and full payment or an installment payment is not due.
(2) A local government shall apportion a final assessment under this section when requested to do so by any owner, mortgagee or lienholder of a parcel of real property that was formed from the partition or other division of the larger tract of real property against which the final assessment was originally levied. When the deed, mortgage or other instrument evidencing the applicant’s ownership or other interest in the parcel has not been recorded by the county clerk of the county in which the parcel is situated, the local government shall not apportion the final assessment unless the applicant files a true copy of that deed, mortgage or instrument with the local government.
(3) Apportionment of a final assessment under this section shall be done in accordance with an order or resolution of the governing body of the local government. The order or resolution shall describe each parcel of real property affected by the apportionment, the amount of the final assessment levied against each parcel, the owner of each parcel and such additional information as is required to keep a permanent and complete record of the final assessments and the payments thereon. A copy of the order or resolution shall be filed with the recorder required to maintain the lien docket for the local government, who shall make any necessary changes or entries in the lien docket for the local government.
