1. (1) An owner of specially assessed historic property must maintain the property in good condition, being structurally stable, weathertight, protected from deterioration, secured from unauthorized entry, and in compliance with state and local building codes and ordinances.
2. (2) An owner of specially assessed historic property must provide the SHPO with contact information, including the names of contact person(s), mailing address, phone number, and email address.
3. (3) An owner of specially assessed historic property must notify the SHPO within 30 days of recording any change in ownership with the county assessor.
4. (4) An owner of specially assessed historic property must obtain and maintain property insurance as required under ORS 358.487(2)(d).
5. (5) The SHPO must monitor owner compliance with program requirements by requesting such information from an owner as described in ORS 358.480 to 358.545 and in this division throughout the period the specially assessed historic property is enrolled in the Special Assessment Program for Historic Property. If an owner does not respond to the request by providing the required information within the specified time, the SHPO may seek mandatory remedial action, initiate removal of the property's special assessment pursuant to OAR 736-050-0135, or both. An owner’s failure to respond resulting from not providing the SHPO current contact information as described in section (2) does not relieve an owner of the requirement to respond to the SHPO’s request for information.
6. (6) Participants who entered the program prior to May 28, 2025, must submit amendments to the Preservation Plan to the SHPO in the third, sixth and ninth year of the 10-year benefit period in lieu of the reporting schedule in ORS 358.500(1).

   1. (a) An owner must install the plaque in a non-destructive manner based on the SHPO’s direction.
   2. (b) An owner must maintain the plaque in good condition and ensure that it is visible from the public right-of-way throughout the 10-year benefit period. An owner must replace the plaque at the owner’s expense if it is lost, stolen, or vandalized. The SHPO must replace the plaque if it deteriorates so that it is illegible due to poor quality or natural weathering during the ten 10-year benefit period.
   3. (c) An owner must submit a photo demonstrating that the plaque is installed as described in when submitting written progress reports.
