Clackamas County Assessor 2022–23

If you are a disabled veteran, or the surviving spouse of a veteran, you may be entitled to exempt a portion of your property taxes.

For 2025, the basic exemption for a disabled veteran or the surviving spouse or registered domestic partner (partner) of a veteran is $26,303 of Assessed Value. The exemption for a service-connected disability is $31,565 of Assessed Value. The exemption amount increases each year by 3%. This is an average savings in property taxes of approximately $400.

Requirements

• Be a war veteran who is officially certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or any branch of the United States armed forces as being 40% or more disabled 
  or
• Be a surviving spouse of a war veteran who has not remarried. 
  and
• You must own and live on the property. Buyers with recorded contracts and life estate holders are considered owners. Temporary absences due to vacation, travel or illness do not disqualify you from the program.

How to File

• You need to file an application with our office by April 1 to secure the exemption for taxes due the following Nov. 15. Once qualified, you do not need to file an annual renewal.
• The exemption is applied to your current residence and is not transferrable. If you move or change the ownership record you will need to file a new application.

• If you are a disabled war veteran, but not certified by the armed forces, you will need to meet an income limit.

Our business hours are Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (closed Fridays). Please watch for information in the newspaper, on our website or contact our office if you have questions.

We encourage payment by mail, but also welcome taxpayers who wish to make payments by coming to our office. We have a payment drop box located to the left of the Development Services Building entrance at 150 Beavercreek Road in Oregon City map. There will be a drive-thru payment drop box available from November 1–5 at the Clackamas County Red Soils Campus (see signs directing traffic on Library Court). Your check is your receipt when using the payment drop boxes.

Our cashiers are unable to process credit or debit cards for payment of property taxes. If you wish to pay taxes using a credit or debit card, please go to Online Payment for information and access. You may also use this site to pay taxes with an electronic check. The service provider, U.S. Bank, does charge a fee for processing these payments.

If you receive a yellow tax statement, a lender or the state senior/disabled deferral program notified us and may intend to pay the taxes. If you receive a green tax statement, it means that the property owner is expected to pay the tax.

One insert is enclosed with your tax statement this year. It provides valuable information about the current tax year, including a town hall schedule. The back of your tax statement provides payment instructions, and you can read more at Payment Options
