Looking up a property and appealing a value

Appealing a value
Petition the county Property Value Appeals Board (meets February through April 15); petitions are due by December 31; further appeal to the Magistrate Division of the Oregon Tax Court.2

More details

State role
Oregon Department of Revenue supervises but is not the custodian of most property tax records; contact the county assessor.3
Deeds: who holds it
County clerk of the county where the property is located (in Multnomah County the clerk's recording function is the Recording office within the Division of Assessment, Recording and Taxation).4
Deeds: how to search
Search the index of the county clerk/recorder where the land lies (online index where the county provides one, public terminals at the clerk's office, or a written copy request). Example Multnomah: MultcoRecords.com (Digital Research Room, Helion Software, linked from multco.us) searches recorded documents since February 2002 by name, date and document type; index viewing is free and copies are bought through the shopping cart; pre-2002 documents via the Public Research Room or the Combined Copy Request Form.5
Maps: state GIS portal
ORMAP (ormap.net), the statewide tax-lot map site, is linked from the Oregon Department of Revenue Property Tax page.3
Liens: liens at the county
County clerk records liens and other interests affecting real property (ORS 205.130). Example: Multnomah County's Recorder's Office records liens; ORS 205.127 makes the County Clerk Lien Record the place to record CERCLA liens.6

How Oregon handles it

  • Multnomah County: clerk functions (recording, marriage licenses) sit in the Division of Assessment, Recording and Taxation (DART)7

Official copies vs look-alike sites

A certified copy comes only from the office that holds the record; reports and "research copies" sold by commercial sites are not issued by any Oregon office. How to tell an official record source from a paid look-alike.
