(3) When a county assesses a civil penalty under ORS 609.162 or 609.163, if the amount of penalty is not paid within 21 days after delivery or mailing of the determination, the county may record the penalty with the county clerk of any county of this state.

However, the county shall not record a penalty with a county clerk while a request for reexamination or petition for judicial review is pending.
