Oregon State Department Of Revenue

This resource outlines various exemption programs available in Oregon, with over 100 options to choose from. Exemptions can be full or partial, depending on the specific requirements of each program and how the property is utilized in accordance with those criteria. Most exemptions for non-governmental entities are typically awarded to organizations that are religious, fraternal, literary, benevolent, or charitable in nature. The property must be essential and utilized in a manner that supports the organization’s mission. Any part of the property that fails to satisfy the exemption criteria will be subject to taxation. Additionally, some properties may be taxed at a lower value through special assessment programs, resulting in reduced tax obligations. Examples of such programs include those for historic properties, farmland, forest land, and conservation easements.
