How to read these numbers
- These are estimates from a survey, not a count. The American Community Survey asks a sample of households. The ± figure is the Census Bureau’s margin of error: the true value is very likely within that range of the estimate. Small places have large margins.
- “Too imprecise to report” means the margin of error is at least half of the estimate, so printing the number would suggest accuracy that does not exist. A “rough guide only” note means the margin is a quarter to a half of the estimate.
- Property tax bill and home value are medians for owner-occupied homes. Half of the homes are above the figure and half below. A median bill is not the rate set by a city or town; the bill combines taxes levied by every local government that serves the home, such as the school district and county.
- “Calculated” rows are worked out by Untax the Roof from the Census figures above them. They compare two medians, so they describe the place, not a particular household.
- Missing is not zero. Where the Census Bureau publishes no figure, this page says so.

If property taxes go unpaid in Oregon
How it works. County in-rem property-tax foreclosure; judgment orders property sold to county, followed by statutory redemption period and deed to county; county later retains/transfers/sells property
Excess sale money. 2025 Oregon Laws c.475 created ORS 312.500-.560 surplus system. County must determine surplus using fair market value for retained/transferred property or sale consideration for bona fide sale, deduct statutory allowable costs, and provide claim route through State Treasurer.
