The Coos Concerned Property Owners office is now closed. The CCPO office closed on May 10th, after helping nearly 75% of affected property owners file objections to their properties being listed on the National Register of Historic Places (over 800 out of the approximately 1,070 affected landowners). The State will make its final determination regarding the listing in July of 2019.

On November 1st 2018, the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians filed an application to place 20 square miles of land surrounding the Coos Bay on the National Register of Historic Places.

One way to stop the area from being listed on the National Register of Historic Places is for a majority of affected landowners to file an official Historic District Objection Form with the State of Oregon by May 10, 2019.

If the application is accepted, and you are an affected property owner, your property will be part of a Historic District. This could mean:

1

Your property may be subject to extra state and local government regulations.

2

When you want to make changes to your property, you may be required to give notice to the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians, and they may
be able to object to what you do with your property.

3

You will have to disclose to buyers of your property that they are purchasing “historic
property,” which may affect the value of your property.

4

You may lose your ability to develop or make full use of your private property.

FAQs

How do I know if my property is in the district?

Click here to check the official list of affected property owners to see if your property is on the list.

I have multiple properties on the list all under the same owner name. How many objection forms can I submit?

Only one. Each owner of private property inside the affected areas only gets to submit one objection form to the State.

I have multiple properties on the list, but some are under one name, and some are under another name (like a company I own). How many objection forms can I submit?

One for each entity listed on the deed to the property. So if you have a house under your name in the zone, that’s one vote. If you have another lot under an LLC, that’s another vote.

My property has more than one owner listed on the deed. How many objection forms can we each file?

If the property has more than one owner (more than one person’s name on the deed), then each of those people gets to submit one objection form to the State.

My property is owned by a corporation, association, business, private trust or other legal entity. How many forms can we submit?

One. Each corporation, association, business, private trust or other legal entity gets to submit one objection form to the State. That objection letter must be signed by someone with the authority to act as a representative or agent of that entity.

My corporation, association, business, private trust or other legal entity owns multiple properties inside the district. Can we file more than one objection form?

No, you may only file one per entity.

I am the legal representative of an estate, corporation, association, business, private trust or other legal entity. Can I file an objection letter on behalf of the property owner? How many letters can I submit?

Yes, you may file an objection letter on behalf of the property owner. You may file one objection letter for each affected property owner you represent.

Can I get help filling out and submitting this form?

Yes! Contact our office. We have a licensed notary and staff who can help you fill out and submit the form, check your eligibility, and answer any questions you have.

I don’t have time to come to your office. Can you help me fill out the form over the phone or email?

Yes! Just give us a call at (541) 808-0116 or email us at info@coosconcernedpropertyowners.com.

Where can I go to get official information from the State of Oregon on this issue?

Click here for official information from the State on what a historic district is, the listing process, and the benefits and responsibilities of owning property listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Who are the Coos Concerned Property Owners and why are you involved in this?

The Coos Concerned Property Owners formed to help affected property owners submit their official objection forms to the State. We object to our properties being listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and we want to help other property owners object too.
