(2) If any person fails to permit the examination of any books, papers or documents considered by the assessor to be pertinent to the investigation or inquiry being made, or to testify to any matter in the premises, the assessor shall refer the matter to the Department of Revenue, stating in full the facts governing the request and refusal. The department may require the assessor to present additional facts, or the department may conduct other inquiries necessary to a consideration of the matter. If the department finds that the examination should be made or the testimony taken, it shall take any action it considers appropriate under the powers granted to it by law, including the subpoenaing and examination of witnesses, books and papers pursuant to ORS 305.190, to the end that the property under consideration is ratably assessed according to law.
(3) For the purposes of this section the words "county assessor" or "assessor" mean both the county assessor and the officer described in ORS 311.216 to 311.232 having possession of the roll. [1955 c.610 §2; 1981 c.804 §51]
