Measure 49 Claims
In November 2004, Oregon voters passed Ballot Measure 37 which became effective December 2004 as ORS 197.352. Simply stated, BM 37 allowed any property owner the ability to file a claim for compensation with any permitting jurisdiction which may have adopted land use regulations that the property owner believed devalued their property. Compensation would be paid to the claimant for the value of the property which was taken away by the subject regulation(s) or the subject regulation(s) would be waived. The only regulations which were not subject to compensation were life and safety regulations and Federal regulations.
In November 2007, Oregon voters approved Ballet Measure 49 which largely reversed BM 37 especially for those jurisdictions located within an urban growth boundary. For properties within a UGB claims for compensation can only be filed for residential projects. The following table lists the claims which have been filed under the provisions of both BM 49 and BM 37 .
