(2) The request for the report shall be made in writing to the assessor and shall be accompanied by:

(a) An appraisal of the property prepared by an appraiser certified or licensed under ORS chapter 674. The appraisal shall have been prepared within three months preceding the date that application is made to the assessor and shall state the appraiser's opinion of the real market value of the property both before and after the easement is conveyed;

The assessor shall prepare a written report stating the assessor's findings and shall send the report to the property owner.
