Property-tax appeals in Oregon
Deadlines, evidence, and a packet you file yourself — for homes, multifamily, and commercial property in Oregon.
State rules verified from public sources| Deadline rule | Petition to the county Property Value Appeals Board filed with the county clerk during the period after tax statements are mailed (late October) and ending December 31 (next business day if Dec 31 is a weekend or holiday) (ORS 309.100). |
|---|---|
| First hearing body | County Property Value Appeals Board (formerly BOPTA), which hears appeals between the first Monday in February and April 15; then the Magistrate Division of the Oregon Tax Court on written complaint within 30 days after the board order is mailed. |
| Who may represent you | The owner, a co-owner, or a person holding an interest that obligates them to pay the tax (e.g., under a lease or contract) may petition (ORS 309.100(1)). |
No filing fee for the county board appeal in Washington County (check your county). Owners of state-appraised industrial property appeal directly to the Magistrate Division, also by December 31. Oregon values property at real market value with a separate maximum assessed value — the petition should identify which value is being challenged.
What wins in Oregon
Homes are argued on comparable sales and uniformity. Income property is argued on the income approach — rent roll, expenses, and a supported cap rate. The packet builds the argument that matches your property type, with your evidence organised as exhibits.
