If no effective date is specified in the final order, the order shall take effect 45 days after the commission adopts the final order approving the change.

(3) If an objection is filed by the board of a district or city council of a city which under the final order would acquire the territory, it shall call and hold an election within its boundaries on whether the territory designated for transfer should be annexed to the district or city. (4) If objections are filed by the electors, the commission shall certify the fact of the objections to the county board of the county where the territory is located whereupon the board shall call an election within the boundaries of the territory proposed for transfer on whether the territory should be transferred.

(1) After the date of a final order or proclamation of annexation or transfer of territory, the territory annexed or transferred shall become subject to the indebtedness, bonded or otherwise, of the affected city or district acquiring the territory in like manner as the territory within the city or district. (2)(a) Subject to ORS 222.465, if the affected territory is to be annexed to a city, and lies within the boundaries of a district, the affected territory is withdrawn from the district on the date of the final order unless the city is part of the district. The city shall have the right to exercise the choice permitted by ORS 222.520 (2). (b) Paragraph (a) of this subsection does not apply when the territory to be annexed lies within a water district organized under ORS chapter 264, a sanitary district organized under ORS 450.005 to 450.245 or a park and recreation district organized under ORS chapter 266. Withdrawal of territory from such a water, sanitary district or park and recreation district shall be governed solely by ORS 222.465 and 222.520 to 222.575. (c) When a city receives services from a district and is part of that district, any territory thereafter annexed to the city shall be included in the boundaries of the district and shall be subject to all liabilities of the district in the same manner and to the same extent as other territory included in the district. (3) After the date of a final order or proclamation withdrawing or transferring territory from an affected city or district, the territory withdrawn or transferred shall be free from assessments and taxes levied thereafter by the affected city or district losing the territory. However, the withdrawn or transferred territory shall remain subject to any bonded or other indebtedness existing at the time of the order, except as provided by ORS 198.882. If the territory is being withdrawn from a district into a city, the city shall have the right to exercise the choice permitted by ORS 222.520 (2). The proportionate share shall be based on the assessed valuation, according to the assessment roll in the year of the levy, of all the property located within the city or district immediately prior to the withdrawal.

2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 05 - State Government, Government Procedures, Land Use|Chapter 199 - Local Government Boundary Commissions; City-County Consolidation|Section 199.531 - Policy.

The Legislative Assembly finds that: (1) Since 1985 local governments in boundary commission jurisdictions have undertaken programs involving multiple minor boundary changes, including annexation of territory, which have required the transfer of service delivery obligations from the county or special districts which formerly had jurisdiction of the territory to the annexing city or district, along with the need to receive revenue to support the services; (2) The local governments and boundary commissions have acted in good faith reliance on state statutes concerning minor boundary changes and in compliance with those statutes; (3) The transfer of service responsibility has resulted in extinguishing or dissolution of special service districts and the transfer of capital equipment and employees; (4) If a court or administrative agency determines that one or more of the minor boundary changes are invalid because the statute on which they were based is unconstitutional, responsibility for service and revenue must be resolved in order to avoid substantial disruption to citizens; and (5) Providing for legislative annexation of the affected territories is the best method for resolving service responsibility and financial obligations without jeopardizing continued service delivery to citizens in the affected territory or imposing unreasonable financial burdens on the city, county and special service districts and their citizens.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter or ORS chapter 222, territory annexed or transferred to a city or district by a minor boundary change approved by a boundary commission’s final order adopted after January 1, 1985, but before July 18, 1987, shall be in the annexing city or district by operation of ORS 198.855, 199.490, 199.531, 199.534, 222.120 and 222.170 to 222.177 commencing upon the effective date of the boundary commission’s final order.
