Oregon Revised Statutes Revenue and Taxation § 311.455

(1) All taxes levied on personal property shall be a debt due and owing from the owner of the personal property.

(2) If taxes on personal property are not paid before they become delinquent, or on the earlier demand of the assessor or tax collector, the county in which the taxes are due and owing may, in addition to the remedies provided by statute for the collection of taxes on personal property, maintain an action for itself, and for all other municipal corporations, taxing districts or political subdivisions sharing in the taxes, against the owner of the personal property for the collection of the taxes, together with interest, penalties, costs and other lawful charges thereon.

(3) At the time of the commencement of the action for the collection of such taxes, the county shall have the benefit of all the laws of this state pertaining to provisional remedies against the property, either real or personal, of the owner owing the taxes, without the necessity of filing either an affidavit or undertaking, as otherwise provided by statute. The county clerk of the county where the action is commenced shall immediately issue writs of attachment on application therefor by the tax collector or the district attorney for the county as plaintiff. The writs shall be directed to the sheriffs of as many counties as the tax collector or the district attorney directs.
