OAR 690-380-5130
Assignment or Change of Ownership

(1)

When a change of ownership or interest occurs in lands described by a transfer application or by an order approving a transfer, the record holder may request the director to record an assignment to the new owner.

(2)

If the record holder is not available, the new owner may furnish proof of ownership to change the Department’s records for that transfer. The Department shall also record a change in ownership to an heir or devisee under a will upon receiving proof of death of the record holder, or to a trustee upon receiving proof of a transfer to trust by the record holder. Proof of ownership of the involved lands shall include but not be limited to one or more of the following documents:

(a)

A deed to the land;

(b)

A land sales contract;

(c)

Documentation of survivorship of property held jointly; or

(d)

A court order or decree.

(3)

The person making the assignment shall identify the current owner of all property involved in the transfer at the time of assignment. The person making the assignment shall furnish proof that notice of the assignment has been given or attempted for each identified owner not party to the assignment.

(4)

When approval of a transfer for a change in place of use moves the water use subject to transfer to lands owned by another owner, the order shall contain the name and address of the receiving landowner and the Department’s records shall be changed to show the receiving landowner as the transfer holder. It shall be the responsibility of the receiving landowner to complete the transfer.
