Property tax statements (tax bills) will be mailed on or before October 25th each year. All property owners receive a tax statement. If you do not receive a tax statement by November 1st, please notify the Assessment and Taxation office at 503-842-3400.
If you receive a green statement, it means that the property owner is responsible for paying the tax. If your tax statement is yellow, it means our records indicate a mortgage company or Oregon Department of Revenue, has requested to pay your taxes. If you have recently refinanced, the mortgage company may not have notified us of the change. Please contact your mortgage company, if you have any questions regarding who should pay your property tax. REMEMBER, property owners are ultimately responsible for paying their property taxes.
The total tax amount is indicated on the front of the tax statement. Payment "Instructions and Schedules" are clearly printed on the back of the statement. The upper portion of the tax statement should be kept for your records.
BE SURE TO MAIL YOUR PAYMENT EARLY ENOUGH TO BE POSTMARKED ON OR BEFORE THE DUE DATE.
Please return the lower portion (coupon) of your tax bill(s) with your payment and use the enclosed envelope with the appropriate postage. If you do not have the applicable coupon for your payment, or are using an online bill payment service, please remit your payment to:
TAX COLLECTOR, 201 LAUREL AVE, TILLAMOOK, OR 97141
Write your account number(s) on the front of your check to ensure proper credit. Your cancelled check is your receipt.
If you plan to pay your taxes in person at the courthouse Assessment and Taxation Office, please be aware that Nov. 15th and the preceding week will be very busy; long lines and waiting may be expected. For those customers that have their payments ready, there is a drop box located at our counter inside the office (available October 26th- November 15th).
