Oregon has a moderate effective property tax rate of 0.82%, ranking 30th nationally. Measure 5 (1990) and Measure 47/50 created significant property tax limits, though rapid home value appreciation in Portland and Bend has still driven bills higher.
Oregon's Measure 5 caps property taxes at $5 per $1,000 of real market value for education and $10 per $1,000 for government services. Measure 50 limits annual increases in assessed value to 3% (maximum assessed value), creating a growing gap between market and taxable values.
