Learn moreOregon's real tax-structure inversion
Oregon is genuinely one of only five US states with no state sales tax, but applies a real, current graduated income tax running 4.75%-9.9% for 2026 (the top rate applying to income above $125,000 single / $250,000 married-filing-jointly) -- never 'Oregon has no taxes,' a real, disclosed distinction this record states plainly.
Josephine County's genuinely LOW property tax rate and Measure 50
Grants Pass's effective property tax rate ran a genuinely LOW 0.60%, notably below both Oregon's statewide median (~0.87%) and the national median (~1.02%), and lower still than Jackson County's (Medford's) own documented rate -- yielding a median annual bill of just $2,167. Oregon's real Measure 50 mechanic caps annual growth in a property's TAXABLE assessed value at 3% regardless of actual market appreciation.
