Oregon Statutes - Chapter 358 - Museums; Historical Societies; Preservation of Historical and Archaeological Properties and Objects; Oregon Historic Families Database - Section 358.509 - Review of continued qualification of property by State Historic Preservation Officer.

If the county assessor, local landmark commission or governing body has reason to believe that property classified as historic property is not being maintained, rehabilitated or preserved as required under the preservation plan approved for the property, as amended, or as required under rules established by the State Historic Preservation Officer, or otherwise no longer qualifies for classification and special assessment as historic property, the county assessor, local landmark commission or governing body shall request the State Historic Preservation Officer to determine if the property continues to qualify. The request shall be in writing and state the reasons why the continuing qualification is questioned. Upon receipt of the request, the State Historic Preservation Officer may initiate a continuing qualification review. If a review is initiated, the State Historic Preservation Officer or designee of the officer shall inspect the property and may take whatever steps are necessary to determine if the property continues to qualify for special assessment including a request for a report under ORS 358.535. The State Historic Preservation Officer shall notify the county assessor of the determination made pursuant to the request within 60 days after the request is received. A determination by the State Historic Preservation Officer that the property no longer qualifies shall constitute a discovery described in ORS 358.515 (1)(c).
