Oregon improvement bonds permit street installments payments
The act allows city councils to finance street improvements via installments. Property owners with $25 or more assessment may apply within ten days of notice to pay in ten annual installments with interest at the bond rate. If assessed value is exceeded by prior liabilities, cash payment may be required for the excess. Bonds mature in ten years at up to 6 percent interest, with annual payments and a right to prepay the full amount at any time.
