SB 517 Oregon Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to county sales of lands.

SB 517 proposes a change to Oregon law governing how counties handle money from selling properties, particularly those acquired through tax foreclosure. It requires counties to first cover their own prior costs (like tax advances and maintenance) before distributing any remaining funds. Any leftover money from these sales must then go to the county general fund, rather than being allocated elsewhere. This directly affects counties selling properties and ensures revenue from such sales supports general county operations. The bill does not create new programs but clarifies the order of fund distribution for existing county land sales.
