Property Tax System
Oregon's property tax system has become more complex since the passage of Measure 5 and Measure 50, which now extend, impose, and set a tax based on each property. Statutes require this office to value Real Market Value as of January 1st, calculate Measure 5 and Measure 50 values, while extending special assessments or exemptions programs to complying properties.
Tax Lot Location
Maps of property tax lots can be located by township, range and section from the Grant County Surveyor's Website.
