Learn moreOregon's progressive income tax, up to 9.9%
Oregon's real, current progressive individual income tax runs four brackets from 4.75% up to a real 9.9% top marginal rate, the top rate applying above $125,000 of taxable income for single filers ($250,000 married filing jointly) -- among the highest top state income tax rates in the country, applying identically in McMinnville.
Yamhill County's genuinely LOW property tax rate
Yamhill County's effective property tax rate carries a real, disclosed spread across sources (0.70%-0.89%), most commonly cited around 0.73%-0.76% -- the median homeowner paid approximately $3,425/year on a home worth $471,700 per one citation, below both Oregon's statewide average and the national average.
Measure 50's assessed-value cap
Ballot Measure 50 (1997) caps how fast a property's taxable 'maximum assessed value' can grow (generally 3%/year, with exceptions for new construction), so most McMinnville homeowners pay tax on an assessed value below real market value -- a real, genuine Oregon-specific mechanic worth understanding rather than assuming property tax tracks market value directly.
Zero sales tax, statewide
Oregon has a genuine, complete absence of any state or local sales tax -- one of only five US "NOMAD" states with no sales tax at all, applying identically in McMinnville.
