You would need to record a Property Line Adjustment deed or other deed that meets all the requirements of ORS 92.190 (4).
If you are thinking of doing a property line adjustment, you should first contact the appropriate city or county planning department to make sure all land use laws and/or ordinances are met prior to the adjustment.
Your property is situated across the boundary line of two different tax code areas. When the boundary line crosses your property anywhere other than right on the property line between you and your next door neighbor, it creates a "Code Split". Part of your property is in each of the districts. The value of the property in each separate area will have a separate tax account. Prior to 2014, you may have received a separate statement for property in a rural fire protection district. This situation was a"Split Code", but our current system is able to calculate these fees without making a separate statement.
If you have a manufactured structure (MFS) that hasn't been de-titled yet, you will receive one tax statement for the MFS, and a separate statement for the land. Any additional structures will be assessed with the land account.
We by law have to work a recorded document and divide a property following the description given in the deed. We will make the change on our maps but this is for assessment purposes only and may not be in compliance with city or county land use laws and/or ordinances. If you wish to divide property, you may wish to contact the appropriate city or county planning department to make sure all land use laws and/or ordinances are met prior to recording the deed.
If title was taken as Husband & Wife or Tenants by the Entirety we can remove the deceased name with a copy of the death certificate or by recording the death certificate.
Generally, the acreage shown on a deed, especially an old deed, is the least reliable source we use. We will use a survey acreage over any other source, followed by computer acreage, mathematical calculated acreage and finally deed acreage.
We can remove the name from our records by providing us with a copy of the death certificate or by recording the death certificate.
You can record a deed from yourself (old last name) to yourself (new last name); or You can fill out a Request for Name Change form from our office and provide us with a copy of your marriage certificate and we will change title for our records. This form is available online and there is a $20.00 fee.
It is probably only an easement and we do not generally show easements on our maps.
