Special Assement Program and Open Houses
Oregon’s State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) has announced open house dates for properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places that receive property tax relief under the state’s special assessment program.
The monthly open house list is distributed through SHPO and certain participating chambers of commerce, historical societies, assessor’s offices, and local landmarks offices.
Under the special assessment program, a property’s assessed value is frozen for 15 years for purposes of local property taxes. Owners of commercial properties may reapply for an additional 15 years.
In return for the special assessment benefit, owners are required to hold an annual open house for the public. The open house must be held at least one day a year for a minimum of four consecutive hours, between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. Owners may choose any day of the year, except state-observed national holidays.
To obtain more information about this program, write to State Historic Preservation Office, 725 Summer Street NE, Suite C, Salem, OR 97301, or call (503) 986-0672.
