Administrative Rules

 Content Editor

Oregon Administrative Rules (OARs) are the directives, standards, and regulations that help state government put state law into practice. Below, you can find information about the rules guiding our work at Oregon State Treasury, including ways to get involved with the process to propose and adopt new or amended rules.

Temporary Rules in Effect


No temporary rules in effect.


Summary:

The temporary rules provide clarity for those who need to report county tax foreclosure surplus proceeds to the Oregon State Treasurer and for those who have a claim to those assets.
In Effect:

10/1/2025 through 3/29/2026
Justification

Without temporary rules, Oregon State Treasurer will lack the ability to prioritize competing claims or obtain consistentinformation that will ensure property is returned to their rightful owners. HB 2089 (2025) did not allow sufficient timeto adopt permanent rules before the law became effective.
