<BR><FONT COLOR="#000080" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">OGIC-approved Framework funding has been used for the past three years to provide small incentive payments to Counties that agree to license their tax lot data such that the Department of Revenue can share it with State Agencies. While the licensing incentive has been successful (we’ve gained access to 21 Counties tax lot data) we’ve identified a modification to the Intergovernmental Agreement that will enable additional counties to participate. Currently the license requires that counties supply<I> “Property Ownership tables populated with all data that is lawful to disclose”</I> and this includes ownership name. The modification makes<U> ownership name optional</U>; address information would continue to be required. This change addresses the perception some Assessor’s have that sharing owner name exposes them to a liability created by the fragmented approach Oregon law has to balancing open records vs. privacy. We’ve informed GPL and Cadastral FIT of this potential change and have received positive feedback. We believe this modification will result in cadastral data sharing by many, if not all, of the remaining 15 counties.</FONT></P>
