Opinion

DECISION OF DISMISSAL This matter is before the court on Defendant's motion to dismiss Plaintiff's appeal on the ground that Plaintiff failed to file his Complaint within the 90 days required by ORS 305.280(2).¹

A review of Plaintiff's and Defendant's materials shows the Notice of Assessment was mailed to Plaintiff on May 15, 2010. The Complaint was filed on December 1, 2010. This interval is longer than the 90 days required by ORS 305.280(2), which provides:

"An appeal under ORS 323.416 * * * or from any notice of assessment or refund denial issued by the Department of Revenue with respect to a tax imposed under ORS chapter 118, 308, 308A, 310, 314, 316, 317, 318, 321 or this chapter, or collected pursuant to ORS 305.620, shall be filed within 90 days after the date of the notice. An appeal from a proposed adjustment under ORS 305.270 shall be filed within 90 days after the date the notice of adjustment is final."
