Multnomah County property owners must pay their 2025 property taxes by Monday, Nov. 17, to avoid interest charges. Early payment can qualify taxpayers for discounts of up to 3%.
The County this week began mailing approximately 300,000 property tax statements and value notices. Statements should arrive by Nov. 1. Taxes fund 59 local taxing districts, including schools, cities, fire departments, and other essential services. The total amount to be collected for 2025 is $2.515 billion, up 3.32% from the $2.434 billion collected in 2024.
Those who pay their property taxes in full by Nov. 17, or submit payments postmarked by that date, will receive a 3% discount. Taxpayers who pay two-thirds by the deadline receive a 2% discount. The county also offers a three-installment option without any discount, with payments due Nov. 17, 2025; Feb. 17, 2026; and May 15, 2026.
Multnomah County cannot extend the payment deadline or waive interest on late payments due to state law.
Payment options include:
• Online at proptax.multco.us, including secure bank payments (convenience fees apply).
• By phone at 1-833-610-5715 via the Point and Pay system (fees apply).
• 24-hour dropbox in front of the Multnomah Building, 501 S.E. Hawthorne Blvd. (checks only).

All County offices will be closed on Veterans Day, Nov. 11.
Taxpayers can view specific account details including assessed values, taxes owed, and payment status by visiting multcoproptax.org. Those needing assistance after Dec. 1 may call 503-988-2225.
Included with each tax statement is a guide—available in English and six other languages—accessible via a QR code. This resource explains how to read the statement and offers additional payment information. The guide is also available at multco.us/tax-statement.
If your tax bill is printed on yellow paper, it indicates another party, such as a mortgage company or the Oregon Department of Revenue, has requested the bill. Confirm with that party before making a payment.
In Oregon, property taxes are based on the lower of the Real Market Value or the Maximum Assessed Value. Property owners can appeal either value through the Property Valuation Appeals Board through Dec. 31, 2025. Hearings begin in February 2026 and run through April 15. Call 503-988-2225 to request an appeal petition or brochure.
