Learn moreOregon's real progressive income tax, not a flat rate
Oregon runs four income tax brackets from 4.75% up to a real 9.9% top marginal rate, applying above $125,000 of taxable income for single filers -- applying identically to Gresham residents as any other Oregon resident, regardless of Gresham's own lower median income.
Multnomah County's property tax rate -- the same county as Portland proper
Unlike Hillsboro and Beaverton (Washington County), Gresham sits in Multnomah County -- the same county as Portland -- and shares Multnomah County's effective property tax rate of approximately 0.96%-0.99%, above both Washington County's (Hillsboro/Beaverton's ~0.93%) and Oregon's ~0.83% statewide average.
Zero sales tax, genuinely complete
Oregon has zero state or local sales tax -- one of only five US states with none, a real, genuine simplification for day-to-day purchases that does not offset the real income tax burden documented above.

- Oregon's real progressive income tax reaches 9.9% at the top bracket (above $125,000 single-filer taxable income).
