There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $13,428.85 TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $285,623.96 Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-to-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater.

Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents.

NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF BALLOT TITLE
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Josephine County Clerk has received a ballot title for a county measure, filed August 2, 2023, for inclusion in the November 7, 2023, election. The following ballot title has been provided by the Josephine County Board of Commissioners:
Caption:
Formation of a Law Enforcement Service District with Permanent Tax Rate Limit
Question:
Shall County Law Enforcement District be formed with permanent rate limit of $0.99 per $1,000 of assessed value beginning 2024-2025?
Summary:
This measure would form the Josephine County Law Enforcement Service District. Passage of this measure would establish, beginning in fiscal year 2024-2025, a permanent tax rate limit of $0.99 per $1,000 of assessed value. The tax would cost approximately $153.86 per year for property with an assessed value of $155,410 (median assessed value in Josephine County). In the first year of imposition the proposed rate will raise approximately $5,643,350 for the district.
Tax revenues from this measure would provide dedicated funding for patrol, dispatch, and evidence services for residents within the district boundary; including residents within the City of Cave Junction; excluding residents within the City of Grants Pass; and excluding residents within the Urban Growth Boundary of the City of Grants Pass with existing city Public Safety Service and Annexation Agreements.
Formation of this district would:
- Stabilize county patrol services
- Provide funding for dispatch and evidence services
- Provide funds that can only be used for law enforcement
The estimated tax cost for this measure is an ESTIMATE ONLY based on the best information available from the county assessor at the time of the estimate and may reflect the impact of early payment discounts, compression, and the collection rate.
ANY PERSON dissatisfied with this ballot title may petition the Josephine County Circuit Court pursuant to ORS 250.195, no later than 5:00 p.m., August 11, 2023, (7 business days after filing of the ballot title with the County Clerk).
