Oregon property tax calculator
A median Oregon homeowner pays $3,876 each year, equal to 0.81% of the median home value of $477,600.
This figure is an estimate rather than a bill. Your county assessor, or an appraisal district in some states, sets your value, while local taxing units determine the rates. Contact your county for confirmation before you pay or protest.

The disabled veteran exemption in Oregon

How your home gets valued in Oregon
Oregon bases property tax on the county assessor's value as of January 1. The tax you pay is based on assessed value, which is the lower of real market value and maximum assessed value.
Source: oregon.gov
Yearly increase limits
Each year, the maximum assessed value of a home can rise only as far as the greater of two amounts. One is last year's assessed value times 103%, and the other is last year's maximum assessed value times 100%. Exceptions such as new construction can set that limit aside.
