Oregon Property Tax Calculator
Oregon property tax flows from locally assessed values and the combined rates of the county, city, school district, and special districts serving your address — the state sets the framework but not your bill. Deferral and exemption programs assist some homeowners, and county boards hear valuation appeals. This page's numbers are county medians, not quotes; select an Oregon county above, add a home value, and get an estimate.

Methodology
Rates are aggregate-derived from the Census Bureau's ACS 2024 5-year American Community Survey (total real-estate taxes paid ÷ total home value, by county). This is a statistical estimate, not a bill lookup — actual property tax bills vary by city, school district, and special-district levies layered on top of the county rate, and by any homestead, senior, veteran, or other exemptions you qualify for. Oregon ranks #24 of 51 (including DC) by statewide average effective rate, where #1 is the highest.

Frequently asked questions
How is property tax calculated in Oregon?
An assessed value is maintained for your property, and the combined rate of the districts serving your address is applied to it. The calculator above approximates the combined-rate step with your county’s median effective rate.
How much property tax will I pay in Oregon?
It follows from your county and the value you enter. With an Oregon county selected above, the calculator multiplies the county-median rate by the home value and displays annual and monthly results.
Can I lower my Oregon property tax bill?
Deferral programs let some seniors and disabled owners postpone payment, exemptions serve certain veterans, and county appeal boards can reduce a valuation that exceeds market evidence. Each path has its own eligibility rules.
Are property taxes deductible?
For those itemizing federally, yes — inside the SALT deduction and beneath its statutory cap. The IRS publishes the cap applicable to your return.
