Program offers property tax assistance Lane County is participating in a new State initiative designed to help homeowners who fall behind in their proper- ty taxes. The Oregon Homeownership Stabilization Initiative (OHSI) was created to administer United States Treasury Hardest Hit Funds, which provide foreclosure pre- vention and community hous- ing stabilization through direct assistance to homeowners. “Creating healthy and vibrant communities is a prior- ity of Lane County,” said Lane County Assessor Mike Cowles. “This initiative will help pro- vide a safety net for people WEDNESDAY THURSDAY who are at risk of losing their homes and also ensure County services don’t lose funding as a result. “Providing stability for fam- ilies and the community is an important way to support a healthy community,” he said. Beginning Nov. 16, the pro- gram will provide up to $40,000 to bring current delin- quent property tax accounts for homeowners who meet the eli- gibility requirements. The benefit is provided in the form of a no-interest, five- year forgivable loan for which a lien will be recorded against the property. Homeowners may be eligi- ble to apply for assistance, if: • They can afford their prop- erty taxes going forward, once they get caught up • Their current income does not exceed 120 percent of the state median income • They do not own other res- idential property • Their home is a one-unit, single-family, owner-occupied, primary residence, including condos, townhomes and de- titled manufactured homes • Their property value does not exceed $625,000 For more information, homeowners can visit www. oregonhomeownerhelp.org or call 503-986-2025.
