Looking for someone that knows the land laws up there.

My name is Steve and my friend and I are looking to move to Oregon to grow medical marijuana. We are looking for one to five acres. Eventually we would like to split into two lots. At first though I am looking to license as a grower for myself and three others, my understanding is that is the limit. I am looking towards Jackson County since they do not restrict me from having the 18 plants- 6 mature 12 seedlings. Seeing as the size of the lot and Oregon Land Use laws it seems I will be in the county. Also it looks like I am restricted to Exclusive Farm Use or Forest Land. Seeing as we are looking to build a cabin on the land EFU is out. As far as the Forest Land I am being told I have to take a Land Use Exam and then I can apply to build a cabin but approval is not guaranteed. We are looking obviously to save as much money and headache as possible.

On a side note I own a construction company in Houston and can build my own cabin and grow room. If there is an area where this is possible rather than having to hire contractors that would be awesome. I have no issues building to applicable codes, filling any neccasary paperwork and attains required permits if needed but want to build myself. In Texas in the county, outside the city, you can build whatever you want as long as your zoned properly with minimal permits and codes. If there is an area like this any info would be greatly appreciated.

We both are experienced growers so that whole side we already grasp. We definently welcome any pointers and would be glad to share any knowledge that could help someone but the point of this post is land procurement. We have been researching this for two months and I have spent days talking to government agencies. I figure posting here would get me straight to the source.

I read a bio on the guy who started this forum, I didn't catch his username, but I would like to thank him personally for the efforts to unite the marijuana movement in Oregon and by proxy the rest of the nation. I would also like to thank all users who take time to help with this matter.

Do some research on the "Lands Available For Taxes" Lists in the counties you are considering, Should be on the computer, except in a few poor hillbilly counties in the US. You may come across something that could save you BIG BUCKS".

Moondance I am well thank you for asking. I hope you are well too. I have narrowed down the state to Oregon. In Oregon the counties have the right to opt out and for the counties that don't opt out specific cities can limit growth amounts. Jackson county is where I am looking. When you say patient section what does that refer to? I apologize ahead of time for my lack of knowledge. I am a total newbie to Oregon.

Overgrowem THANKS! Never thought of that. Been looking at for closures but that is most of the time a nightmare.

P.S. Risk a few bucks up front and have a TITLE SEARCH done for anything you consider getting from the Lands Available list b4 plopping down any bucks.

Due diligence. Most times the title is not an issue.... However, some things a property has/gets attached to it before It goes thru tax foreclosure do not go away. The big bugaboo is the IRS. They tell you they will work with you, but you do at your own peril. When their finger is in the pie, I walk away. Any government lien or judgment, at any level, will remain with the property, some times they are trivial ( cutting grass, picking up trash ) Mid range, tearing down sheds or condemned houses, recovering stolen (phony) unemployment payments, money owed to jails or prisons. etc. The ceiling after that, Child support, bills to "GOV'T OWNED" medical facilities, etc.. The silver lining is you can negotiate with all these peeps, maybe not successfully but you can negotiate. You shouldn't run across it but sometimes bad things happen on nice properties, batteries come to mind. A professional title search will turn these and list the payoffs..

Think he means patient section. Here on riu. You will probably find all kinds of people in Oregon who will tell you all kinds of shit about the law. And of course alot of that will be fucked but you're a smart dude and you can fact check

In Oregon you may have 4 plants per household and 8 oz without a license, and plants must be kept from public view...to grow more than that you will need a license

What license do you need to grow

And can you apply before moving to Oregon?
