Attention Oregon Veterans and Families

If you are a disabled veteran, active-duty service member, or the surviving spouse/partner of a veteran, you could qualify for a property tax exemption! In 2026, this benefit lets you exempt $27,092 or $32,512 from your homestead's assessed value, with a 3% increase every year.

This valuable exemption starts with your home and can even extend to your taxable personal property. Don't miss out on this opportunity!
