Your fall payment must include any delinquent taxes,
fees, and interest and at least one third of the current
year’s taxes. Failure to pay the minimum due may
lead to collection action including issuing a tax lien
warrant, additional fees, and potential garnishment.
Real property machinery and equipment will
receive a Real Property Tax Statement.

available to homeowners from the Oregon
Department of Revenue.

Many factors can aect the amount of your tax bill
Contrary to popular belief, tax increases are not limited to 3% per year. Factors that may result in a tax increase
of more than 3%, include:
• New voter-approved bonds or levies.
• Renovations or changes beyond general and ongoing maintenance made to your property as of
Jan. 1, 2023
• Loss of compression (the dierence between Measure 5 and Measure 50 tax calculations) on the property.
To see the compression history for your property, check out our DART TaxGraph on multcotax.org.

have taxes to pay.

requested a copy of your tax bill and may
pay it on your behalf.

Understanding your property tax statement
Assessor information
1. Key property data
Property address, legal description and account
number (please have this information available when
contacting our oce).
2. Ownership and mailing address
By law, the owner is responsible for updating the
name and address on the tax bill.
More than 300,000 tax bills are mailed in late
October raising over $2 billion for 60 taxing districts
in Multnomah County.
To change the mailing address:
1. Write the change on the detachable portion of
your tax bill and submit with your payment.
OR
2. Email [email protected] and include the
following information:
• Owner name
• Property account number or address
• New mailing address
3. Your property values
Real market value (RMV) is the assessor’s estimate
of the market value of your property as of Jan. 1,
2023.
Assessed value is the lower of the RMV or
maximum assessed value (MAV).
For more information on RMV, MAV and assessed
value (AV), visit our website: multcotax.org.
4. Taxing districts
Your tax statement shows the taxes imposed for
each of the districts in which your property is located.
Each district collects a permanent tax rate for
ongoing services plus any additional taxes that have
been approved by voters.
Levies fall into three categories:
A. Education taxes
B. General government taxes
C. Bond taxes (additional taxes authorized by
voters)
Payment information
5. Yellow or green statement?
The color of your statement matters!
Yellow statement
If you received a yellow statement, this means
your mortgage company has requested your
property tax bill and may pay it on your behalf.
OR
You are on the deferral program for seniors or people
with disabilities, and the Oregon Department of
Revenue will pay all or part of your tax bill.
IMPORTANT! If the ownership or mortgage details
have changed in the past year, contact your lender to
ensure your taxes will be paid. Property owners are
ultimately responsible for taxes.
Green statement
If you received a green statement, return
the lower portion of the statement with your
payment in the envelope provided.
