ORS 311.412: Effect of acquisition of property by eminent domain on taxes for prior fiscal years.

(1) Whenever, by eminent domain proceedings, the State of Oregon or any political subdivision thereof acquires title to any real property upon which property taxes for any year or years prior to the fiscal year of such acquisition have become a lien upon said real property, all such liens shall be transferred to and be paid out of the award of the jury given in such proceedings. The real property acquired by the state or any political subdivision thereof shall be free and clear of any liens or liability for such property taxes.

      (2) In the event the real property acquired by the state or any political subdivision thereof was a part of a larger parcel upon which property taxes for any year or years prior to the fiscal year of such acquisition have become a lien, only such proportion of such taxes as the assessed value of the part acquired by the state or the political subdivision thereof bears to the assessed value of the said larger parcel shall be transferred to and paid out of the award of the jury given in said proceedings, and the remainder of such taxes shall continue a lien upon the remainder of said larger parcel.
