State Overview
Property Taxes in Oregon
Oregon taxes below the national average
Oregon homeowners pay an effective property tax rate of 0.775%, about 25% lower than the national median of 1.03%. This ranks Oregon in the lower half of states nationwide, offering relief to property owners compared to high-tax states like New Jersey and Illinois.
County rates vary nearly twofold across Oregon
Effective tax rates swing from 0.528% in Josephine County to 1.008% in Gilliam County—a dramatic 91% spread that reflects how much local assessments differ. Median tax bills range even wider, from $1,407 in Lake County to $5,061 in Multnomah County, showing geography fundamentally shapes what Oregonians owe.
Typical Oregon homeowner pays $2,745 annually
With a median home value of $357,142 and median property tax bill of $2,745, the average Oregon homeowner pays less than they would nationwide despite owning a home worth $75,000 more than the national median. This advantage stems partly from Oregon's lower effective rate and partly from the state's lower overall property valuations outside major metros.
Portland metro bears the heaviest tax load
The three counties surrounding Portland—Multnomah ($5,061), Clackamas ($5,051), and Washington ($4,852)—are Oregon's highest-tax counties, driven by rising home values in the region's urban core. Rural counties like Lake, Sherman, and Josephine pay under $1,600 annually, reflecting smaller property valuations and lower local service demands.
Oregon offers below-average taxes with sharp geographic splits
Oregon is a low-tax state overall, appealing to cost-conscious homeowners seeking relief from coastal high-tax states. But the split is stark: move to Portland and you'll pay top-tier property taxes; choose rural eastern Oregon and you'll save thousands annually.
