Yesterday afternoon the coalition bill (HB 3016) passed out of the House Human Services and Housing Committee late yesterday afternoon on a unanimous vote. Representative Parrish (R - West Linn) will carry the bill. I expect the bill to pass out of the House later next week. This legislation contains language that eliminates the landlords responsibility to pay past due taxes when he or she purchases an abandoned home in their community. The past due tax on abandoned homes" is MHCO's top legislative issue for this legislative session. After trying to address this issue for the past 12 years we are thrilled that we are finally moving forward on an issue that is important to every community in Oregon.
