Understanding your Tax Statement

• If your tax statement is yellow...
  ...it means our records show your Mortgage Company or Oregon's Senior Deferral program notified us they will be paying your tax bill. If you have any questions regarding who is paying your property tax, contact your Mortgage Company. REMEMBER: you are ultimately responsible for paying your taxes
• If you receive a green statement...
  ...it means that the property owner pays the tax.
  Keep the top of this statement for your records and return the bottom portion with your payment in the envelope provided.

Mailing Address Changes
If the mailing address on your statement is incorrect or has changed, please check the box on the front of your payment stub and write the correct or changed address on the back of the payment stub. Or you may notify us of the change via email, fax or letter. By Oregon law, it is the property owner's responsibility to inform the Assessor of any address changes.
