Tax Payment Options

COVID-19 Update

Our lobbies will be open to the public starting February 16 but to limit the spread of COVID-19, we are encouraging the public to use the alternate options of phone, e-mail, US Postal Service, online or drop box.  

There are four different options for paying your property taxes:

  1. You can mail in your payment,
  2. Come in to the county to pay in person
  3. Pay over the phone through the automated telephone service, or 
  4. Pay online via the internet.

Assessment & Taxation - Property Tax Prepayments

Washington County is unable to accept any prepayments on taxes for the 2020/2021 tax year. Per Oregon Revised Statutes, pre-collection of funds may not be allowed, unless under specific situations such as omitted property which adds taxes to the roll; prepayment to the Oregon Department of Revenue for senior deferral balances; partition and plats of parcels or making a subdivision; and other situations outlined in ORS 311.370. According to the Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR 150-311-0260) unless authorized by law, no prepayments of property taxes which have not been certified by a taxing district, shall be collected or accepted.
