Amends the Oregon Constitution to create a "Senior Property Tax Freeze" that caps property tax assessments on primary residences for homeowners aged 65 or older, preventing assessed value increases while enrolled in the program

Eligibility requires the owner to be at least 65 years old by April 15 before the property tax year and either occupy the home or be absent for health reasons; homes held in trusts also qualify
-
Counties must establish a simple enrollment process for eligible seniors to participate in the property tax relief program
-
Upon sale or transfer of the home, the county assessor reassesses the property to the value it would have been without the freeze
