IN THE OREGON TAX COURT MAGISTRATE DIVISION Property Tax CONNIE CENECA, ) ) Plaintiff, ) TC-MD 120049N ) v. ) ) DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE, ) State of Oregon, ) ) Defendant. ) DECISION OF DISMISSAL Plaintiff appeals Defendant’s Disqualification Notice Taxes Due and Payable, dated November 22, 2011. A case management conference was held on March 21, 2012. Plaintiff appeared on her own behalf. Kathy Stevens (Stevens) appeared on behalf of Defendant. During the conference, Stevens reviewed Defendant’s Answer, filed February 29, 2012, stating: “DOR sent a Notice of Recertification Approval on November 4, 2011 and paid the 2011/12 taxes to Clackamas County on [Plaintiff’s] behalf. “* * * * * “The department was in error in originally qualifying [Plaintiff] for deferral. We have since changed her account status from “disqualified” to “inactive.” This has the effect of disallowing the property taxes from future deferral, but allows the amounts paid to the county in error to remain deferred. They are not yet due and payable.” (Def’s Ans at 1-2) (emphasis added). According to Stevens, Plaintiff can make an application to defer her 2012-13 property taxes no later than April 15, 2012. Because Defendant paid Plaintiff’s property taxes for tax years 2007-08 through 2011-12 and is no longer requesting payment from Plaintiff, there is no justicable issue before the court. If Plaintiff applies no later than April 15, 2012, for property tax deferral for tax year 2012-13 and is denied, Plaintiff could appeal Defendant’s action to this court. Because that is a future action DECISION OF DISMISSAL TC-MD 120049N 1 that may or may not be taken by Defendant, the court has no jurisdiction at this time. Now, therefore, IT IS THE DECISION OF THIS COURT that this matter be dismissed because Defendant’s Disqualification Notice Taxes Due and Payable, dated November 22, 2011, has been withdrawn.
